Anees Bazmee
Anees Bazmee is one of the most promising directors of Bollywood. After Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, the actor was expected to work on No Entry 2, featuring Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor. The film, however, is on the backburner as Varun and Diljit have left. Anees Bazmee has now opened up about the sequel and revealed plans to resume work on it.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bazmee shared, “We worked very hard for the No Entry sequel. Uss film ke liye ek bahut khoobsurat kahani bhi likhi. However, it is unfortunate that it didn’t get made due to one actor or the other. Last time, we were all set to begin the shoot. All preparations were done, but there was a problem at the eleventh hour. I guess every film has its destiny."
