Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh were set to star in the most-awaited sequel of the 2005 film, No Entry. However, Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh suddenly exited the project last year, and now the latest reports have suggested that Varun Dhawan has also quit the film.

According to Mid Day, Varun Dhawan has reportedly exited the film due to scheduling conflicts. The initial reports suggested that Diljit's departure "made things a bit complicated" for the team. The project had already undergone major changes from its original cast, and now things got more complicated.

A source close to the film said, “Now Varun’s dates are locked for 'Bhediya 2'. We're figuring out the new combinations. Arjun is still very much on board."

Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Boney Kapoor, the creators are now looking for new actors to join Arjun for the film.

Varun's work obligations are expected to keep him busy until at least the middle of 2026, according to reports. According to reports, the producers are currently looking for two new leads because of this.

In the first movie, the producers had attempted to keep Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Fardeen Khan. But it never came to pass.

Varun has not yet responded to rumours that he is leaving.

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan was last seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. He starred alongside Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf in the film. The film opened in the theatres with a mixed response from the audience and the critics alike.

However, Varun already has an exciting line-up of projects. He will be the next star in Border 2 and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
