Son of Sardaar starring Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt was released in 2012. Nearly 12 years later, its sequel, titled Son of Sardaar 2, is finally taking shape. Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt have reprised their roles in the film. Earlier this week, several reports claimed that Sanjay Dutt was dropped from the film after the actor's UK visa application was allegedly rejected due to his 1993 arrest. However, sources told NDTV that the actor is still a part of the project and that he just won't be a part of the film's UK schedule.
In Son of Sardaar 2, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt have reprise their roles as Billu and Jassi respectively. The film also featured Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla. The film also had a cameo appearance by Salman Khan. Mrunal Thakur will be a part of the second installment.
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn has started the shooting of his upcoming film Son of Sardaar 2. The actor announced the news by sharing a video featuring both on-screen and off-screen glimpses from the sets. The video also features Ajay's son Yug. Sharing the video on Instagram, the actor wrote, "The journey of #SonOfSardaar2 begins with prayers, blessings and an amazing team."
Son Of Sardaar 2 picks up where its predecessor left off. The original film, directed by Ashwni Dhir, was a remake of SS Rajamouli's Maryada Ramanna and explored the rivalry between the Sandhu and Randhawa families. The sequel is directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and will feature several actors in cameo roles.
