Has Salman Khan decided to shelve ‘No Entry 2’ for THIS reason? – Times of India

Releases of Salman Khan’s films are nothing less than a festival for his fans. The superstar has a line-up of some very interesting projects in his pipeline and one of them was ‘No Entry’ sequel.

However, if the reports doing the rounds are anything to go by then it is being stated that Salman has decided to shelve ‘No Entry 2’ owing to legal and financial complications. According to a report in a news portal, Salman had his heart set on the film and wanted to make it. The report added that the actor had himself sat on the script with Anees Bazmee and felt it was amongst the funniest scripts he read in the last decade. However, the first part was stuck in multiple legal tangles due to a movie studio shutting its shop. Reportedly, Salman initially thought it would be easy for him to resolve the conflict. However, when he dug deep into the matter, the maze was a lot more complicated.

The report further revealed that the idea was to pay off everyone and acquire the rights. But when a list of stakeholders to be paid off was made, the amount extended beyond the stipulated budget. Ones around Salman felt that there was a strong possibility of third-party raising issues against the film once it goes on floors as the rights are very opaque and they may have to spend additional money if that happens, the report in Bollywood Hungama stated.

An inside source also told the news portal that Salman is very eager to do a comedy film, but circumstances are such that nothing is materialising. The report also added that Anees Bazmee has also moved on to making his superhero comedy. Salman is now reportedly on the lookout to find a new script to start work on from the month of January or February.

‘No Entry’ also starred Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta, Esha Deol and others.
