Mrunal Thakur Replaces Sonakshi Sinha In Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt's Son Of Sardaar 2? Know Here
Mrunal Thakur is the new leading lady.
Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt’s 2012 comedy film, Son of Sardaar, is getting a sequel. As per reports, Ajay and Sanjay will be seen in a hilarious face-off again but this time, reports claim that instead of Sonakshi Sinha, Mrunal Thakur will be the leading lady. Reports claim that the shoot will begin in Scotland soon.
While the actors will be seen as Billu and Jassi again, the story will be a fresh one. A source told Mid-Day, “That said, since the characters of Billu and Jassi were loved by the audiences, the two actors are expected to stick to their characters’ names. Their dynamics, however, will be different. While the two were at loggerheads with hilarious results in Son of Sardaar, this time, their rivalry will be intense, with Sanjay’s role leaning towards the antagonist. Off screen, the two actors are close friends, and Ajay has made sure that Sanjay has a fantastic role in the second part.”
“Ajay, Sanjay and Mrunal Thakur, who has been roped in as the female lead, will kick off a 50-day schedule in Scotland. It is famous for its castles, historic towns, lochs, and beaches, with many episodes of Game of Thrones, and much of the Harry Potter franchise having been shot there,” the source added.
“The direction team had done a recce earlier this year, and finalised the scenic towns of Glencoe and Glenfinnan, as well as sites such as the Culross Palace, Doune Castle, Preston Mill and Falkland Palace. The locations form a fitting backdrop for the kind of action and drama that the director has in mind. A few romantic songs featuring Ajay and Mrunal will also be shot in the country’s picturesque locales,” added the source.
The film will be directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and comes nearly 12 years after the original. The first film featured Ajay Devgn trying to win Sonakshi Sinha’s hand in marriage by trying to impress her older brother, played by Sanjay Dutt. However, as per reports, Sonakshi Sinha will not be a part of the sequel. A release date for the film is yet to be decided.
