Meanwhile, Bazmee’s much-anticipated 'No Entry Mein Entry' has hit another roadblock. Early this month, after Diljit Dosanjh’s exit due to scheduling issues, Varun Dhawan had reportedly opted out as well, citing date conflicts with his ongoing projects. The film was initially set to feature Varun, Arjun Kapoor, and Diljit in the lead roles. With two major stars stepping away, producer Boney Kapoor and the team are now exploring new casting options.
