Chunky Panday says he had a 'laugh riot' while filming 'Son of Sardaar 2'

Chunky Panday had a blast filming Son of Sardaar 2, calling it a laugh riot. The film is a standalone sequel to the 2012 hit comedy. Panday also shared nostalgic moments from his recent Kathmandu trip after 34 years. The actor recently visited Pashupatinath Temple during his spiritual journey.

Mumbai, Aug 1

Actor Chunky Panday had a great time shooting for his latest release “Son Of Sardaar 2” and said it was a “laugh riot” filming it.

Chunky took to his Instagram, where he shared a string of pictures with all his “Sardaars” from the sets of the film in Scotland.

He wrote: “Scotland and all my Sardaars had such Laugh Riot Filming Son of Sardaar 2 with @devgnfilms. Im sure you'll will feel the same while watching it Releasing today in cinemas next to you (sic).”

Son of Sardaar 2 is a Hindi-language comedy film directed by Vijay Kumar Arora. It is a standalone sequel to the 2012 action comedy film Son of Sardaar, and stars Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and Sanjay Mishra. It is also the posthumous film of Mukul Dev. In the film, a man fakes being a war hero to assist a couple in gaining their parents' approval for their marriage.

The first installment of the film was released in 2023 and was directed by Ashwni Dhir. It had Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla. A remake of the 2010 Telugu film Maryada Ramanna, it was released on 13 November 2012.

On July 30, Chunky took to social media to share his heartfelt experience of visiting Kathmandu after more than three decades.

The actor, who last visited the city in 1989, recalled fond memories from the past and captioned it, “Visited Kathmandu after 1989. So beautiful, so green and the warmest Hospitality.”

In the images, he is seen smiling while posing for the camera. Earlier, Chunky Panday had visited the sacred Pashupatinath Temple and shared moments from his spiritual journey on social media.

He also shared a few photos from inside the temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva and situated on the banks of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, Nepal. “So blessed to get a Darshan at the Pashupatinath Temple in the month of Shravan,” he wrote as the caption.

Not sure about this one... The first part was decent but sequels rarely match up. Hope they don't just rely on Ajay Devgn's star power. The plot sounds similar to many other Bollywood comedies we've seen before.

Scotland as a shooting location sounds amazing! 🇮🇳🇬🇧 Bollywood films exploring international locations always add that extra visual treat. Chunky's comic timing is underrated - he was brilliant in Housefull series too.

The spiritual side of Chunky visiting Pashupatinath Temple is so heartwarming ❤️ It's nice to see actors sharing their personal journeys beyond just film promotions. The combination of comedy in films and spirituality in life seems to be working well for him!

I appreciate how Chunky maintains such a positive attitude about all his projects. After so many years in the industry, his enthusiasm is still infectious! Hope the film does well at the box office 🤞

The cast looks promising but I wish they had retained Sonakshi Sinha from the first part. Mrunal Thakur is talented no doubt, but the original cast had such great chemistry. Still, will give it a chance for some lighthearted entertainment!
