The highly successful action-comedy film Son of Sardaar, released in 2012, is coming back with a sequel filled with even more action, comedy, and entertainment. Son of Sardaar 2 has begun filming in the UK with Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles. The film’s launch was announced in a unique way with Punjabi dhol beats.
Ajay Devgn announced the Muhurat of Son Of Sardaar 2 on X (formerly Twitter). In a video he shared, Devgn is seen offering prayers before starting the shoot. His son, Yug Devgan, was also present at the event in the UK, posing with the film’s clapboard.
During the shoot, Ajay Devgn is seen wearing a turban, looking joyful. Mrunal Thakur, set to star in the lead role, is dressed in traditional Punjabi attire and playing the dhol. The celebration includes many people dancing and enjoying the lively dhol beats, marking the special occasion.
Sharing the video, Ajay Devgn wrote, “The journey of #SonOfSardaar2 begins with prayers, blessings, and an amazing team.”
According to a report by Mid-day, Sanjay Dutt has been replaced in the film due to issues obtaining a UK visa and has been replaced by Ravi Kishan. The film, currently being shot in Scotland, faced complications due to Dutt’s rejected visa application linked to his previous incarceration. The source also mentioned that Dutt had difficulties securing a UK visa in the past.
For those unaware, in April 1993, Sanjay Dutt was arrested under TADA and the Arms Act for possessing illegal firearms connected to the 1993 Bombay bombings. He was sentenced to five years in prison. The Supreme Court upheld this sentence in March 2013, and after multiple bail periods, Dutt completed his full term and was released in 2016.
Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Son of Sardaar 2 is a production of Devgn Films and SOS 2 Limited. The film is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja serving as producers and Kumar Mangat Pathak as co-producer.
