Boney Kapoor recently showed his disappointment after he failed to retain the original cast of No Entry in its sequel, and now a new report has revealed a shocking reason behind Salman Khan’s not returning
to the film and what led Boney to have an entirely new star cast.
As per a report by Hindustan Times, Salman Khan has some issues with the film’s producer, Boney Kapoor and actor Arjun Kapoor, which is why the former has no option but to have a fresh casting on board. The portal quoted a source saying, “The truth is simple: Salman’s problem lies with Boney Kapoor (producer) and Arjun Kapoor. That’s why Boney had no option but to re-cast No Entry Mein Entry instead of bringing back the original cast.”
For those who are unaware, the tension between Salman Khan and Arjun Kapoor started after the latter began dating Bhaijaan’s ex-sister-in-law Malaika Arora, who was married to Arbaaz Khan.
Boney Kapoor on No Entry’s cast
While speaking with Instant Bollywood, Boney Kapoor recently said, “Poori star cast hi humne change ki. Toh ye humara loss hai that we could not retain the same star cast. (We’ve changed the entire star cast. So it’s our loss that we couldn’t retain the original cast). We waited for almost 8–10 years but somehow things didn’t happen. We will miss them. And now we are trying to give a fresh start with a younger lot of actors. But at the same time, we will miss Salman, we will miss Anil and Fardeen. They were the original three boys in No Entry. And they were most loved.”
He further added, “Waqt beet gaya wait karte karte aur aaj hum shayad new setup ke saath koi nayi cheezein usmein… ho sakta hai sab cheezein aur different ho. But maine mauka kho diya. Gaadi aage nikal gayi. Ab ye pachhtaawa hoga ki same setup nahi hai. (Time passed while we kept waiting, and today, with a new setup, maybe things will be… different. But I lost the opportunity. The train has moved on. Now there will always be this regret that the original setup isn’t there). Because Salman is a fantastic guy, Anil is a fantastic guy, brother and actor. Fardeen is one of the best guys I have known in the film industry. I will miss them. But somehow, we have moved on, and let’s hope the decision is right.”
