The comic caper of 2005 NO ENTRY starring Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutta, Esha Deol, Celina Jaitley was a hit film. And since the makers, director Anees Bazmee and producer Boney Kapoor have been trying to make the sequel of the film for a while. But somehow superstar Salman Khan’s busy schedule or rather the star is not-so interested at the moment to do a comedy like NO ENTRY MEIN ENTRY, considering his Good Samaritan and heroic image courtesy his current films, has been preventing him to go ahead with it.

On the other hand, we hear that the makers of NO ENTRY were also looking out to cast Akshay Kumar in the sequel. But it seems Akshay also showed a no signal towards it. Now, as per the reports director Anees Bazmee and producer Boney Kapoor after contemplating have arrived at the idea of casting GUNDAY stars Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in the sequel NO ENTRY MEIN ENTRY.
