The Kapoor brothers are at odds as tensions escalate over the highly anticipated sequel to the Bollywood hit, ‘No Entry’ Producer Boney Kapoor recently addressed the increasing feud, admitting that communication has broken down between himself and his elder brother, Anil Kapoor, following Anil’s surprise departure from the sequel’s cast.
Anil Kapoor is disillusioned and outraged by the decision to express disgust in his brother and fellow producer, Boney Kapoor.
The initial film, which featured a star-studded cast including Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor, left fans waiting for the sequel. However, Boney Kapoor revealed that, despite Anil’s eagerness to repeat his part, technical restrictions made it impossible to include him in the sequel.
The sequel’s cast includes Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Arjun Kapoor in leading roles. Boney Kapoor expressed regret for the early leak, which exacerbated Anil’s dissatisfaction and caused a breakdown in communication between the brothers. Despite Boney’s efforts to clarify the situation and explain his casting decisions, Anil Kapoor remained distant, worsening their split.
Boney Kapoor defended his casting decisions, emphasising the necessity of bringing originality and relevance into the sequel. Boney intended to appeal to modern audiences, drawing on Varun and Arjun’s established relationship and Diljit’s tremendous popularity.
However, in the midst of career decisions, familial relationships weakened, as Anil’s quiet revealed his displeasure. As speculation swirls about the sequel’s development timeline, which is set to begin in December 2024 with a grand theatrical premiere in 2025, the schism between Anil and Boney remains unsolved.
With the sequel coming two decades after the initial film, emotions are high, and fans are eager to see how this cinematic rivalry will end.
Meanwhile, Boney Kapoor concentrates on the upcoming release of his film ‘Maidaan’, starring Ajay Devgn. Reflecting on the problems faced by the COVID-19 outbreak, Boney Kapoor expresses relief that the film is now being released after several delays. Despite the turbulence, Boney Kapoor remains optimistic about reconciling with his brother Anil Kapoor, as they manage the complexity of their personal and professional lives. ‘Maidaan’ will be released on April 10.
