Anil Kapoor is on 'cloud nine' after he is flooded with appreciation for his stellar performance in his latest release, Jugjugg Jeeyo, also starring Neetu Singh Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani. Filmmaker Anees Bazmee is also basking in the success of Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and Kiara Advani starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Earlier, Anil and Anees had paired in 2005's No Entry, also starring Salman Khan, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Esha Deol and Celina Jaitly. Now, fans are eagerly waiting for their next project 'No Entry Mein Entry', which is a sequel to No Entry.
While the makers have already cleared the air about the sequel, the entire team seems to be excited to bring on the lead star cast once again. As per earlier reports, Anees had already locked the script for No Entry 2 and stated that working on the movie would begin immediately after the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
"After writing over 50 films, my aim is to do good work and make good films going forward. No Entry Mein Entry is going to be a great entertainer. Salman Bhai loved the script, Boney Ji also loved the script and if you ask me, it’s a beautiful script. We had this basic idea long back but could not crack it into a screenplay," Anees was quoted as saying.
He also went on to add, "That’s one of the reasons why it took us so long to make part two. But now, it’s happening. It’s a double role comedy."
Even Salman had confirmed the sequel during a media interaction last year. As quoted by Bollywood Hungama, Salman had then said, ''Anees Bazmee's scripting is complete. This time, it is going to be 9 times the fun because the trio - Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan - return in triple roles.”
"Moreover, there will be 9 heroines in the film. It's a massive ensemble that nobody has ever seen in the history of Bollywood. The story will follow the same catchline - three husbands trying to go astray and the madness that comes along with it," Salman had said.
Meanwhile, speculations are rife that the makers are planning to bring several divas from the south industry who have recently garnered the attention of movie lovers across the country. If rumours are anything to go by, big names from the south like Rashmika Mandanna, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Pooja Hegde and Tamannaah Bhatia are being considered by the makers to rope in for the sequel flick.
If reports are to be believed, the makers are considering bringing the divas from the south to make the film appealing pan-India. Apart from these biggies, several other divas from Bollywood of different generations will also be a part of the mega movie.
Certain other reports have claimed that the makers are waiting for Salman to wrap up the schedule of Tiger 3 as he can work on No Entry's sequel. The makers will finalise the shooting dates after Salman decides the timeline of the shoot.
If everything goes well, the makers will kick off shooting for the sequel by early next year. No Entry Mein Entry will be produced under the banner of SKF, Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios.
