Ajay Devgn Sanjay Dutt return with ‘Son Of Sardaar 2’
Its been almost 12 years following the release of the action-comedy film “Son of Sardaar”. Ajay Devgn returns with the sequel, giving way to curiosity on the cast.
Although initial reports suggests that neither Sonakshi nor Sanjay Dutt would reprise their roles, there’s a fresh update for fans of Dutt’s character. There were reports that Sanjay Dutt has indeed signed on for the sequel
“Son of Sardaar 2”.
However, there’s a key twist as the film will be a completely new story, not the original plot’s continuation.
A source close to the production house reveals that the sequel is a fresh story and won’t pick up where the original film left off.This news might leave some fans wondering over the roles of Devgn and Dutt. The source assures that while the narrative is new, the actors will likely retain their character – Ajay Devgn as Jaswinder “Jassi” Singh Randhawa and Sanjay Dutt as Balwinder “Billu” Singh Sandhu.
Though the names remain the same, the source emphasized a significant change in the characters’ dynamic. While their on-screen relationship was a hilarious rivalry in Son of Sardaar,” this time around however, their rivalry will be much more intense, with Sanjay’s character leaning towards the antagonist side.
Notwithstanding their on-screen conflict, Ajay and Sanjay are close friends in real life. Ajay specifically ensured that Sanjay has an exceptional role in the second part.
Son of Sardaar 2 will be Vijay Kumar Arora’s directorial. He is a successful Punjabi director and had earlier collaborated with Devgn as the director of photography for the 2014 film Action Jackson.
Arora plans to kick-off shoot for the action-comedy around July-end, with a 50-day shooting schedule in Scotland a place which boasts of stunning landscapes – castles, historic towns, lochs (lakes), and beaches that have served as backdrops for films like Game of Thrones and the Harry Potter series. Earlier this year, the direction team conducted a recce and finalized some scenic locations. These include the towns of Glencoe and Glenfinnan, along with landmarks like Culross Palace, Doune Castle, Preston Mill, and Falkland Palace.
These picturesque locales are expected to perfectly complement the film’s blend of action and drama, envisioned by the director. The source adds that a few romantic songs featuring Devgn and the female lead, Mrunal Thakur, will also be filmed in Scotland.
Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is currently working on Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and is expected to wrap up the shoot next week. After that, he will fully dedicate himself to Son of Sardaar 2. Once the Scotland schedule is complete, Devgn will reportedly head to London to begin filming for
