Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of comedy, action, and desi swag as Son of Sardaar 2 gears up to hit theatres on August 1, 2025! The much-awaited sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar brings back Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn as the lovable Jassi Randhawa, promising double the fun, chaos, and Punjabi madness. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, this spiritual sequel is set to take audiences from the vibrant fields of Punjab to the scenic landscapes of Scotland, blending slapstick humor with heartfelt moments. With a stellar ensemble cast featuring Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and more, this film is poised to be a family entertainer that’ll leave you in splits.
A New Chapter with a Fresh Twist
Son of Sardaar 2 is not a direct continuation of the original but a spiritual sequel that retains the essence of its predecessor while introducing a fresh storyline. The 2012 film, directed by Ashwni Dhir, was a masala entertainer with Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, and Juhi Chawla, known for its quirky humor and memorable one-liners like “Just Joking” and “Kadi Hass Bhi Liya Karo.” The sequel takes the comedy quotient up a notch, with Jassi Randhawa navigating a chaotic adventure in Scotland. The trailer, released on July 11, 2025, teases a wild mix of action, drama, and comedy, with Ajay’s character caught in a mob conflict and a vibrant Sikh wedding, all while trying to save his marriage and hostages.
The plot follows Jassi, who travels to Scotland to reconcile with his wife, played by Mrunal Thakur as Rabia. Along the way, he gets entangled in a hilarious web of cultural clashes, quirky characters, and high-stakes drama. From pole-dancing grannies to punchy one-liners taking a dig at cross-border tensions, the film promises a “comedy of errors” with a desi heart. The makers have also recreated the iconic “Po Po Song” from the original, adding a nostalgic touch to the soundtrack.
Star-Studded Cast Brings the House Down
Ajay Devgn returns as the energetic Jassi, delivering his signature charm and comic timing. Fans are thrilled to see him back in the comedy genre after a string of intense action films like Singham Again and Shaitaan. Mrunal Thakur steps in as the new leading lady, replacing Sonakshi Sinha, and plays Rabia, Jassi’s love interest or wife. While some fans expressed disappointment over Sonakshi’s absence, others are excited to see Mrunal’s fresh pairing with Ajay, though a few social media reactions noted a lack of on-screen chemistry.
Ravi Kishan, stepping into a role initially meant for Sanjay Dutt, brings his unique flair as Raja. During a promotional appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Ajay humorously revealed that Ravi, fresh off his serious role in Laapataa Ladies, was initially “doing comedy very seriously” on set, adding to the fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Ravi shared how Ajay generously gave him the spotlight in the climax, a rare gesture that highlights their camaraderie.
The ensemble cast is a major highlight, featuring Sanjay Mishra as Bantu Pandey, Chunky Panday as Danish, Neeru Bajwa as Dimple, Kubbra Sait as Mehwish, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh as Tittu, Ashwini Kalsekar as Premlata, Roshni Walia as Gul, Sharat Saxena, and the late Mukul Dev as Tony, marking his final on-screen appearance. Sanjay Dutt, despite earlier reports of being replaced due to UK visa issues, has shot key scenes in India and remains part of the film, adding to the excitement.
Behind the Scenes: A Massive Production
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, known for his work in Punjabi theatre, Son of Sardaar 2 is a grand production presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja. Filming began in July 2024, with shoots across Edinburgh, London, and Chandigarh, capturing the vibrant contrast between Scotland’s serene landscapes and Punjab’s colorful chaos. The cinematography by Aseem Bajaj promises a visual treat, while the recreated title track and songs like “Pehla Tu Duja Tu” have already caught fans’ attention.
The film faced a minor hiccup when its release was postponed from July 25 to August 1, 2025, to ensure a polished final product. Ajay Devgn announced the new date with a vibrant poster, igniting excitement among fans who flooded social media with reactions like “Paaji is Back!” and “ZABARDAST.” However, the trailer received mixed responses, with some calling it “cringe” and “over-the-top,” while others praised its nostalgic vibe and Ajay’s comic timing.
Why You Should Watch Son of Sardaar 2
Son of Sardaar 2 is shaping up to be a quintessential Bollywood entertainer, blending humor, action, and heartwarming moments. The film’s quirky characters, punchy dialogues, and cultural jabs make it a perfect watch for families and fans of masala comedies. While some critics have called out the trailer for revealing too much of the storyline or relying on loud humor, the ensemble cast and Ajay’s star power are undeniable draws. The film also serves as a tribute to Mukul Dev, whose posthumous appearance adds an emotional layer.
Whether you’re a fan of the original Son of Sardaar or just looking for a fun-filled cinematic experience, Son of Sardaar 2 promises to deliver laughter, drama, and desi swag in abundance. Mark your calendars for August 1, 2025, and get ready to join Jassi on his chaotic Scottish adventure!
