Sanjay Dutt Casting Controversy

There were talks that the film's shooting would take place in the UK, but Sanjay Dutt doesn't have a UK visa. Despite numerous attempts over the years, his visa requests have been denied. This stems from his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai blasts, where he was found guilty under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison. Following this revelation, Ajay Devgn's team reportedly decided to exclude him from the project. However, new information has surfaced.

According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, Sanjay Dutt will still be part of "Son of Sardaar 2," but due to the visa issue, he will shoot his scenes in India. His character requires a strong screen presence, and while he won’t reprise his previous role, another prominent character will now be played by Ravi Kishan.
