The upcoming comedy is set to arrive in cinemas on July 25, and the actor shared the news with fans using the hashtags #SardaarIsBack and #SOS2. The sequel to the 2012 hit brings Devgn back in his iconic role and features Mrunal Thakur in a key role. Backed by Jio Studios, Devgn Films, and T-Series, the film promises a perfect mix of action, comedy, and high-spirited drama.

A few days ago, the film's leading lady, Mrunal Thakur, posted a clapboard photo with the name 'Son of Sardaar 2.' For the caption, she wrote, "SCENE 49 SHOT 5 TAKE 1 ACTION!" The upcoming film serves as a follow-up to 'Son of Sardaar,' which originally featured Sonakshi Sinha in the lead role. The 2012 film starred Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles of Jassi and Billu, respectively. In the upcoming sequel, Sanjay Dutt will return as Don, while a role originally intended for Vijay Raaz--Ravi Kishan's character from the first film--will now be portrayed by Sanjay Mishra.

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the new installment arrives nearly 12 years after the original. 'Son of Sardaar 2' will lock horns at the box-office with Siddharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor's film 'Param Sundari.'

Maddock Films' 'Param Sundari' is set to hit theatres on July 25. The film explores a North-South love story and is directed by Tushar Jalota, with Dinesh Vijan serving as producer.

Finally! Been waiting for this sequel since ages. Ajay Devgn as Sardaar is pure gold - that swag, comedy and action combo is unbeatable. Hope it lives up to the original's entertainment value. July 25 can't come soon enough! 🔥

Interesting clash with Param Sundari on same date! But honestly, Ajay Devgn's mass appeal will dominate. Though I wish they'd kept Sonakshi Sinha - she had great chemistry with Ajay in the first part. Mrunal is talented but big shoes to fill.

The first part was a total paisa vasool entertainer with that iconic 'Jatt da muqabala' scene. Hope they maintain the same Punjab da swag in this one too. Though 12 years is a long gap - hope the humor hasn't become outdated.

Not sure about this sequel trend in Bollywood. Original was fun but why dig up old franchises? Would rather see fresh stories. Though with Sanjay Dutt and Ajay together, can't deny it'll be an entertaining watch for sure!

The production houses backing this - Jio, T-Series, Devgn Films - means it's going to be a visual treat with great music. Remember the 'Son of Sardaar' title track? Hope they recreate that magic. Also, Sanjay Mishra replacing Vijay Raaz is an upgrade!

As someone from Punjab, I hope they don't overdo the stereotypes this time. The first part was fun but some jokes didn't age well. That said, Ajay in turban is always a treat to watch - he carries that look with such natural swag! 😍
