Arjun Kapoor is certainly choosing hai films wisely. After facing back-to-back box office debacles like The Lady Killer and Kuttey, Arjun is now carefully considering scripts and selecting projects only after giving them much thought. Kuttey was a bad product and The Lady Killer was incompletely one so Arjun came out unscathed from both box office debacles.
Now the actor has already taken his first step in the right direction by signing Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, where he will reportedly play the antagonist. He will also be seen in No Entry 2 along with fellow actors Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh. And now, as per reports in Bollywood Life, Arjun has already signed one more film where he is collaborating with dad Boney Kapoor.
Arjun Kapoor to star in another Boney Kapoor film apart from No Entry 2
Yes, you heard it right. Arjun Kapoor will once again be collaborating with dad Boney Kapoor for a film. No, we are not talking about No Entry 2, but it’s a different film. The film will be more or less tailored to the box office needs. The above information was confirmed by Boney himself to Bollywood Life in an exclusive conversation. The Maidaan producer said, ”I am making a film with Arjun besides No Entry 2. It’s a different type of film. The movie will certainly cater to the box office.”
Double Trouble In No Entry Sequel
Now, we hear the second part will be a case of double trouble—Dhawan, Arjun and Dosanjh will be seen in double roles, which will be the source of confusion and comedy in the narrative.
Producer Boney Kapoor and the director had finalised No Entry Mein Entry’s script as early as 2019. However, over the past five years, the two were unable to get the comedy off the ground due to casting and date issues.
A source close to the project reveals, “Earlier, there was talk of Salman, Fardeen and Anil doing the sequel. While that did not materialise, they have now been replaced by Arjun, Varun and Diljit. The trio will step into the roles played by the original stars in the 2005 film that revolved around three philandering men, but it will be an entirely new setting and fresh dynamics. The double roles and mix-ups will add to the film’s humour. Varun, Arjun and Diljit loved the script, and are eager to explore their on-screen camaraderie.”

Leading Ladies To Be Locked By End Of The Year, Shoot Starts In 2025
The next obvious question is: who will be the leading ladies? That will have to wait as Bazmee is currently busy shooting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, and will begin casting for the female leads only after the horror comedy’s release. The source adds, “A few months ago, rumours were rife that the second part would feature 10 actresses, including Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani, Disha Patani and Rashmika Mandanna. But the script has been tweaked since then. Anees will zero in on the leading ladies by the year-end and take the film on floors by early 2025.”
Apparently, producer Boney, who is busy with Maidaan, is keen to release No Entry Mein Entry in 2025 to mark 20 years of the original.
