EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Dutt is NOT dropped from Ajay Devgn’s Son Of Sardaar 2

The excitement is building as Ajay Devgn officially begins filming for Son of Sardaar 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar 2. The production has commenced. However, recent rumors have sparked confusion among fans regarding the casting of the film.

Ravi Kishan Replaces Sanjay Dutt?
Hours before the official announcement of the shoot, a source from Mid-Day reported that due to issues with Sanjay Dutt’s UK visa, he would be replaced by Ravi Kishan. According to the source, “Ever since his arrest in 1993, while Sanju has travelled to the US, he has applied for a UK visa multiple times, but never got one. The Son of Sardaar 2 shoot would have been his first trip to the UK. However, after Ajay’s team found out that the senior actor’s visa request had been rejected, they replaced him with Ravi Kishan.”

To clarify these rumors, Bollywood Hungama reached out to a source close to the production. The source dismissed the rumors of Sanjay Dutt being replaced by Ravi Kishan, stating, “Sanjay Dutt remains an integral part of the film. The actor will be shooting extensively for the India schedule, as the character demands significant screen presence.”

While confirming the addition of Ravi Kishan to the cast in a pivotal role, the source emphasized that this does not mean Sanjay Dutt has been dropped. Instead, Ravi Kishan will take over Sanjay Dutt’s role while the latter will be seen in an important character.
Changes in the Star Cast
Son of Sardaar 2 has seen a few changes in its star cast over time. Initially, Sonakshi Sinha was replaced by Mrunal Thakur. The latest rumors suggested that Sanjay Dutt’s UK visa application was rejected due to his past incarceration, leading to his replacement by Ravi Kishan. However, a source from the production has made it clear that Sanjay Dutt will still be part of the movie, shooting his scenes during the India schedule.

Salman Khan Firing Case: Accused seeks bail, claims inspiration from Lawrence Bishnoi’s principles but denies the gangster’s involvement in the shooting

Salman Khan Firing Case: Accused seeks bail, claims inspiration from Lawrence Bishnoi’s principles but denies the gangster’s involvement in the shooting

In a surprising twist, Vickykumar Gupta, one of the accused in the April firing incident outside the residence of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Mumbai, has claimed that he was inspired by the principles of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Gupta filed a bail application on Monday where he stated that his financial struggles and debt drove him to commit the crime along with asserting that Bishnoi had no direct involvement with the case.

Gupta’s lawyers argued that their client was drawn to Bishnoi’s character and principles, which he learned about through electronic, print, and social media. They emphasized that Gupta was not directly influenced by Bishnoi, but rather by his ideology. The accused claimed that the firing was intended to scare Salman Khan for his alleged role in killing two blackbucks in 1998, an act that offended the Bishnoi community, which worships the animal. Gupta maintained that Lawrence Bishnoi had no involvement in the incident and was being wrongly implicated by the prosecution.

The special court, set up under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA Act), has sought a response from the prosecution and adjourned the matter for arguments on August 13. Gupta’s bail plea highlights the complexities of the case, which has drawn attention to the intersection of crime, celebrity culture, and social media influence. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how the court will interpret Gupta’s claims and the role of Lawrence Bishnoi’s ideology in the incident.

Speaking of the incident, two bikers opened fire outside his plush residential society, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, suburban Mumbai in the wee hours of morning on April 14. While the residents were absolutely rattled by the incident, it did not result in casualties or injuries. The case has been in investigation since then and several arrests were made in the case. The police believed that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who has openly threatened to harm Salman Khan and his family in the past, was involved in the case but the recent and sudden turn of events seem to suggest otherwise.
