Ajay Devgn is set to return in Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to his 2012 film Son of Sardaar. The freshly released trailer confirms the film’s release date as July 25. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the sequel shifts its setting from Punjab to Scotland, where the story unfolds around a wedding.
The trailer opens with the question, “Will he survive Scotland?” and follows Devgn’s character as he navigates unfamiliar surroundings and a series of comic situations. The story introduces several characters tied to a wedding, with humour built around cultural contrasts and exaggerated misunderstandings.
The film features Mrunal Thakur opposite Devgn. Other cast members include Ravi Kishan, Mukul Dev, Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh, Dolly Ahluwalia, and Neeru Bajwa. Mukul Dev, who passed away in May 2024, appears here in his final film role.
Son of Sardaar, released in 2012, earned approximately ₹100 crore at the box office. It released alongside Jab Tak Hai Jaan, the final film by Yash Chopra, and the simultaneous release led to a dispute over screen distribution. Ajay Devgn filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India against Yash Raj Films at the time.
Speaking about the issue in a recent interview with The Lallantop, actor Kajol, who is married to Devgn, said she felt “helpless” during the disagreement. She noted that both sides were defending their positions and that time was needed to allow tensions to settle.
Director Vijay Kumar Arora is known for Punjabi-language films including Godday Godday Chaa and Kali Jotta. Son of Sardaar 2 marks his return to Hindi cinema.
