While posting the video, Ajay also shared a caption that reads, “The journey of #SonOfSardaar2 begins with prayers, blessings, and an amazing team.”

Son of Sardaar 2 is a sequel of the 2012 blockbuster movie Son of Sardaar and starring Sonakshi Sinha, Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Dutt.

Ravi Kishan replaces Sanjay Dutt

Along with Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt was also supposed to join the team and start shooting but he faced some issues getting a UK visa. 

According to the report, ever since the arrest of Dutt in 1993, Sanju applied for a UK visa multiple times but never got any. The shoot for the Son of Sardaar 2 was his first trip to the UK and he revealed that his visa had been denied, consequently, Ravi Kishan is now set to replace Sanjay Dutt in Son of Sardaar 2.

Reports also claimed that this visa problem would not impact Akshay Kumar-starrer Housefull 5 which is also scheduled to start shooting in London in September. The film’s producer Sajid Nadiadwala reportedly chose a wiser route and decided to shoot all of Dutt’s scenes in Mumbai instead of London.
