There is good news and bad news for producer Boney Kapoor. First the bad news. Salman Khan is not doing Boney’s comedy No Entry Mein Entry, the sequel to the 2005 hit directed by Anees Bazmi. For a very long time Salman has been see-sawing between yes and no regarding this long-delayed project, which was to also feature Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan (remember him?) from the original film.
Looks like Anees and Boney have been living on false hope. According to sources, Salman clearly told a friend that he is not doing No Entry Mein Entry.
So that is that.
The project was stuck in a legal imbroglio with a party claiming copyright infringement. But the courts have now ruled in Boney’s favour.
And matters are proceeding with supreme celerity as far as Wanted 2 is concerned. In fact Salman and Prabhu Deva recently met and threshed out a basic plot point.
Prabhu now needs to work his way around the plot point suggested by Salman.
What you will definitely find in Wanted 2: Salman mouthing the line “Ek baar jo commitment kar liya toh main apni bhi nahin sunta hoon.”
What you definitely won’t find in Wanted 2: Ayesha Takia.
