Son of Sardaar 2: Ajay Devgn & Sanjay Dutt set for intense showdown in Scotland

Ajay Devgn is preparing for several exciting new projects, including the highly anticipated sequel to his 2012 hit film Son of Sardaar. The original action-comedy featured a comedic rivalry between Devgn's character, Jassi, and Sanjay Dutt's character, Billu. Fans will be thrilled to learn that the duo is set to clash once again in Son of Sardaar 2. The film is slated to begin filming in Scotland soon, with Mrunal Thakur joining the cast as the female lead.

A recent report in Mid-Day has confirmed Sanjay Dutt's involvement in the sequel, which promises a fresh storyline. According to the report, the characters Jassi and Billu will retain their names, although their relationship dynamics will shift. This time, Dutt's character will become more antagonistic, adding a new layer of intensity to their rivalry.

Reports stated that "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."

Details about the film's shooting schedule have also been revealed. Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, and Mrunal Thakur will kick off a 50-day filming schedule in Scotland. The team will shoot action and dramatic sequences in picturesque locations like Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Culross Palace, Doune Castle, Preston Mill, and Falkland Palace. Additionally, romantic scenes featuring Ajay and Mrunal will be filmed amidst Scotland's scenic beauty.

The sequel's development has been long-awaited. Back in 2023, the potential for Son of Sardaar 2 was reported by Pinkvilla. The project’s details were shared by a source, stating that Son of Sardaar has been planned to be turned into a franchise by Ajay Devgn ever since the first part was released over a decade ago. A number of ideas were discussed in the past to take the story of Jassi Singh Randhwa forward, but none of them were deemed up to par. The plot apt for the sequel has finally been zeroed in on by Ajay and his team, and the project will soon be officially announced.
