However, the director chose not to interfere in the brothers' disagreement, believing they would resolve it on their own due to their strong bond.

In recent months, anticipation for 'No Entry 2' has grown due to reports of a rift between producer Boney and his brother, actor Anil, who starred in the original film alongside Salman and Fardeen. The sequel will feature Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Arjun Kapoor in lead roles, marking Anil's absence from the franchise's latest installment. Director Anees Bazmee has been vocal about the ongoing feud between the two brothers.

Sanjay Kapoor revealed on Shivani Pau’s podcast that during difficult periods, his brother Boney Kapoor didn't extend roles to him, even when opportunities like 'No Entry' emerged. Despite the potential success with Sanjay's inclusion, Boney chose Fardeen Khan instead.

Sanjay reasoned that with established stars like Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan already cast in 'No Entry,' the film would have succeeded regardless of his inclusion. He reflected that his brother chose Fardeen Khan for the role because he was considered more marketable at the time. Despite not collaborating with his brother's productions for two decades, Sanjay emphasized that it wasn't due to a lack of affection but rather the practicalities of the industry.
