Almost 12 years after the release of the action-comedy Son of Sardar, Ajay Devgn will return for the sequel, sparking curiosity about the cast. While initial reports suggested that neither Sonakshi Sinha nor Sanjay Dutt will reprise their roles, there is a new update for fans of Dutt's character. According to reports, Sanjay Dutt has actually signed a sequel titled 'Son of Sardar 2'. However, there is a crucial twist: the film will not be a continuation of the original story, but an entirely new one. “The sequel is a new story,” said a source. “It will not pick up where the original film left off.” Sources say that while the story is new, the actors will retain their roles: Ajay Devgan, who plays Jasinder “Jasi” Singh Randhawa, and Sanjay Dutt, who plays Balwinder “Bill” Singh Sandhu, I’m sure it’s very delicate . Although the name remains the same, sources suggest a major change in the character's dynamic. “In Son of Sardar, their on-screen relationship was incredibly competitive,” they explain. “However, this time their clash will become more intense as Sanjay's character leans towards the antagonist. Despite their differences on screen, Ajay and Sanjay are best friends in real life. Ajay has particularly assured that Sanjay will play a big role in the second part."
Son of Sardar 2 is directed by prolific Punjabi director Vijay Kumar Arora, who worked with Dogen as cinematographer on 2014's Action Jackson. Aurora has planned a 50-day filming schedule in Scotland and filming for the action comedy is set to begin at the end of July. The choice of location is very interesting. Scotland boasts stunning landscapes such as castles, historic towns, lakes and beaches and has served as a backdrop for famous films such as Game of Thrones and the Harry Potter series. The source revealed: "The directing team did a tour earlier this year and some of the beautiful locations included the towns of Glencoe and Glenfinnan as well as Carlos Palace, Preston Mill and Falkland Palace." These beautiful locations are expected to be a perfect complement to the one set by the director to represent the film's intended mix of action and drama. The source added that some romantic songs featuring Devgn and actress Mrunal Thakur will also be shot in Scotland. Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is currently working on Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again' and the shooting is expected to wrap up next week. After that, he will work full-time on Pasar Sardar 2. After completing the schedule in Scotland, Devgn will reportedly head to London to start shooting for De De De Pyaar De 2.
