Producer Boney Kapoor has categorically denied reports suggesting that actor Varun Dhawan has exited the upcoming sequel to the 2005 comedy hit No Entry. In a statement to Bombay Times, Kapoor dismissed the buzz as entirely baseless.

“It is just a rumour. Arjun and Varun are very much part of the movie. It is someone’s imagination,” Kapoor told us.

Over the past week, several online reports had claimed that Varun Dhawan had walked out of the sequel, tentatively titled No Entry Mein Entry, allegedly due to scheduling conflicts and delays in the film’s pre-production. The news surfaced shortly after rumours of Diljit Dosanjh also exiting the film made headlines, leading to speculation about a major overhaul in the cast.

Kapoor, however, clarified that no such change had occurred in the core casting of the film. He emphasized that both Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan remain fully committed to the project.

“We didn’t take the news seriously, but now it has become too big,” he said, addressing the widespread attention the rumours have garnered online. He added, “We are making No Entry Mein Entry and Varun and Arjun are very much in the film. We are in active discussions to lock our other hero and the rest of the cast. In the next 15–20 days we should lock other cast members as well.”

The sequel, directed by Anees Bazmee, has been in development for some time and is expected to be a full-fledged comic entertainer, following in the footsteps of the original which starred Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Fardeen Khan.
