‘It’s a film that’s close to my heart’: Fardeen Khan speaks about No Entry 2
In a candid chat, Fardeen Khan reminisced about the original film. He played a pivotal role in it, along with Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor, which was a major box office success.

Acknowledging the sequel’s potential, Khan speculated on the direction the film might take, saying, “I don’t know whether they’re doing something different with the sequel but I’m pretty sure it will be close to what Anees had already written. I think it will be incredible. I wish them luck, love, I’m dying to see it when it comes out.”
As fans of the original film eagerly await the release of the No Entry 2, Khan’s endorsements and heartfelt wishes add to the growing anticipation. Despite not being part of the new project, his connection to the franchise and positive outlook towards the forthcoming film are evident.
