Diljit Dosanjh Exits Due to Scheduling Conflicts

Originally announced as one of the three male leads alongside Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh has stepped away from the project. His departure sparked online speculation, with rumors suggesting creative differences or his recent casting choices as possible reasons.

However, producer Boney Kapoor clarified in an interview with NDTV that Diljit’s exit was solely due to scheduling conflicts. “Yes, we have parted on good terms as the dates were not aligning with our requirements; hopefully, we will soon collaborate on a Punjabi film,” Kapoor said.

So as of now, we can see Dosanjh out of this venture as he is busy with multiple commitments, including his Aura Tour across Australia and New Zealand from October 26 to November 13, 2025, alongside ongoing film projects—making it impossible to accommodate No Entry 2’s production schedule.
