No Entry 2: Has Boney Kapoor already spent Rs 30 crore on ‘No Entry 2’? Here is the truth behind the movie Hindi Movie News
Boney Kapoor set the industry abuzz about a year and a half ago when he announced that he was working on a sequel to his 2005 comedy smash No Entry. The media was quick to congratulate him and the mood was overwhelmingly positive all around. With Hindi cinema riding the trend of franchises and sequels at the time, Boney’s ad looked like a surefire winner.
‘No entry 2 ‘ strings with a great director and a fresh new cast
Anees Bazmeewho directed the original film, did very well after the success of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and was one of the most popular directors in the industry at that time. He reportedly signed a huge amount to be a part of the sequel, which was titled ‘No Entry Mein Entry’. As for the cast, original stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan were replaced by Varun DhawanDiljit Dosanjh and Arjun Kapoor.
Diljit’s exit throws the first spanner in the works for No Entry 2
However, things started falling apart when Diljit decided to quit the project. By that time, Boney and his team had allegedly already spent a considerable amount on location scouting both in India and abroad. And as is well known, when Boney travels, he rarely does so with a small team.
‘No Entry 2’ reveals Boney Kapoor’s taste for the extravagant
According to the Free Press Journal, Boney is one of those who believe in extravagance; he always makes sure that wherever he goes, he gets noticed. He always believes in doing things in style. You will travel in First Class/Business Class with an entourage of personal assistants and significant crew, even if it is a location scouting trip in India or abroad.
Varun Dhawan’s box office woes add to No Entry 2’s woes
The film ran into more trouble when Varun’s position at the box office became uncertain. His patriotic film ‘Border 2’, which released in January this year, gave his career a boost, but his two back-to-back comedy flops, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ and ‘Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’, had badly damaged his image. Varun decided to quietly walk away from Boney’s film on his own. In a casual chat with a media person, he said, “I need time to think. We don’t share any career updates now.”
Arjun Kapoor’s comeback further complicates No Entry 2
With Arjun Kapoor looking to make a strong and well-calculated return to the big screen after his long absence, he would need credible and popular co-stars by his side to give his career revival the push it needs. Boney, like his father, understands this better than anyone. But this is where things get tricky. Reports suggest that the sequel to ‘No Entry 2’ has already burned a hole of around $30 million in Boney’s pocket, and yet the film has little or nothing to show for all that spending.
‘No Entry 2’ remains a promising project caught in uncertainty
Currently, ‘No Entry Mein Entry’ remains a highly anticipated project whose theatrical release remains uncertain. Audiences who loved the original film have yet to receive any concrete assurances about when or if this comedy sequel will hit theaters.
