Son of Sardaar 2 trailer: Ajay Devgn has a few franchises under his belt and while films like Drishyam, Raid, Golmaal appeared to be the kind that had the potential to turn into a franchise, no one, not even some of his ardent fans, expected him to come out with a sequel of his 2012 film Son of Sardaar. The first film was set in Punjab, and the new film’s trailer opens with the text asking, “Will he survive Scotland?”
The trailer then shows Ajay’s character watching an older woman performing a pole dance, and as she collapses, the film tries to make a joke on “Bebe marr gayi (Old woman is dead).” The trailer then proceeds to introduce a gamut of characters who seem to be here for a wedding. At one point, Ajay starts pretending he is Sunny Deol from Border, as Ravi Kishan’s character speaks incorrect English. Mrunal Thakur plays Ajay’s love interest here. The film also stars Mukul Dev in his last role. The actor passed away in May 2024. Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh, Dolly Ahluwalia and Neeru Bajwa also star in the film.

Son of Sardaar released in 2012 and also starred Sonakshi Sinha. Back then, the film made around Rs 100 crore, as per Bollywood Hungama. The film clashed at the box office with Yash Chopra’s last film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan. The movie released just a month after Chopra’s sudden passing. It also led to some controversy between YRF and Ajay Devgn as he filed a complaint with Competition Commission of India (CCI) and accused YRF of trying to secure more screens for their film.
In a recent interview, Kajol, who is married to Ajay, and has had a long work association with YRF said she felt “helpless” when this happened. She shared with The Lallantop, “Fights are always difficult, especially when they remain unresolved for some time. At that point, when you have a situation like that in front of you, both parties were standing for themselves. As somebody who was connected to both sides, I felt helpless. You have to wait for time to pass so that the feelings subside. So that things can become ok again.”
Son of Sardaar 2 has been directed by Vijay Kumar Arora. He is known for directing Punjabi films like Godday Godday Chaa and Kali Jotta. Son of Sardaar 2 releases on July 25.
