Ajay Devgn Pays A Visit To Gurdwara, Mrunal Thakur Rocks Bhangra As Son of Sardaar 2 Shoot Kicks Off

Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt's 2012 comedy flick, Son of Sardaar, is in the works for a sequel, and shooting has commenced. Ajay Devgn shared the Muhurat announcement on his Instagram. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film will have a substantial filming period in the UK before moving to India.

Ajay shared a video with the caption, “The journey of #SonOfSardaar2 begins with prayers, blessings, and an amazing team.” In the video, Ajay could be seen offering prayers at a gurdwara while Mrunal Thakur was seen performing bhangra on stage. Watch the video here:

As Sanjay and Ajay reprise their roles as Billu and Jassi, the storyline will bring a new and fresh narrative to the audience. A source had earlier 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.

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the sequel arrives almost 12 years after the original hit the screens. The initial film showcased Ajay Devgn's attempts to woo Sonakshi Sinha's character by winning over her elder brother, portrayed by Sanjay Dutt. Nonetheless, reports indicate that Sonakshi Sinha will not feature in the sequel. The film's release date remains pending.
