Son of Sardaar 2: Fans who loved the Ajay Devgn–Sonakshi Sinha jodi in Son of Sardaar might want to sit down for this one. The sequel’s happening, yes. But no Sonakshi this time. And finally, she’s opened up about it.
During a promo event for her upcoming film Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness, Sonakshi was asked the obvious—why isn’t she part of Son of Sardaar 2? Her answer? Simple, honest, and without the usual filmi drama.
“What can I even say? I’m not the one making the film. Maybe the story’s different now, or maybe my character just didn’t fit in this time.”
Straight from the heart, right?

No Replacement Drama, Just a New Storyline
Sonakshi didn’t seem upset or sidelined. In fact, she made it clear there’s no hard feelings. According to her, it’s not about being replaced—it’s just that her character isn’t needed in the new version of the story. And honestly, that happens more often than you think in Bollywood sequels.
Let’s rewind a bit. When Son of Sardaar released back in 2012, it was full-on action, comedy, and desi flair. Audiences loved the fun banter between Ajay and Sonakshi, not to mention the over-the-top fight scenes and hilarious punchlines. The film did great business too.
New Heroine, New Vibe
So who’s stepping in now? Word on the street is that Neeru Bajwa, the popular Punjabi actress, has joined the cast opposite Ajay Devgn. That’s a fresh twist, and let’s admit—it’ll be fun to see her Punjabi roots shine in a high-energy masala flick.
Still, we can’t blame fans for feeling a little nostalgic. After all, Ajay-Sonakshi had some real chemistry in the first one.
Meanwhile, Sonakshi Is Gearing Up for a Dark New Role
While she won’t be riding the Sardaar train this time, Sonakshi has her hands full. Her new movie Nikita Roy and The Book of Darkness releases on June 27, and she’s diving into mystery-thriller territory.
Even cooler? The film is being directed by her brother, Kush Sinha. Talk about keeping it in the family! Sonakshi plays a very different kind of character here—dark, intense, and nothing like the bubbly roles fans might be used to seeing her in. Could this be her career’s big pivot moment? Only time (and box office numbers) will tell.
Final Thoughts
It’s always a little sad when a beloved on-screen pair doesn’t reunite in a sequel. But hey, Bollywood’s all about new twists, and this one might surprise us. Sonakshi’s taking on bold, different roles, and Son of Sardaar 2 is heading in a fresh direction.
Let’s keep an open mind—and popcorn ready. Whether it’s action, mystery, or masala, this year’s releases are serving full Bollywood thali vibes.
