Ajay Devgn is back in action, literally standing tall as he reprises his role as Jassi in Son of Sardaar 2. The film's first poster, released recently, shows Devgn standing atop two military tanks, a visual that immediately draws parallels to some of his most iconic entries in Bollywood. The film is slated to release on July 25, 2025.
Devgn's career, spanning over three decades, is punctuated with memorable entry scenes that have often defined his characters and set the tone for the films. One that undoubtedly tops the list is from his debut film, Phool Aur Kaante (1991). The image of a young Ajay, balancing effortlessly on two moving motorcycles, doing a full split, became an instant sensation. This daring stunt, choreographed by his father, Veeru Devgan, not only showcased his physical prowess but also established him as an action hero to watch out for. The scene was so impactful that it has been recreated and referenced throughout his career.
In the Golmaal series, Devgn brought back the two-vehicle split, this time using cars, adding a comedic twist to the action. The stunt was further elevated in Son of Sardaar (2012) where he balanced on two horses. When asked about his most memorable stunt, Devgn has repeatedly mentioned the Phool Aur Kaante bike entry, emphasizing its lasting impact on his career and his fans.
The Son of Sardaar 2 poster seems to be a nod to this legacy of impactful entries. While details about the film's plot are still under wraps, the poster suggests that audiences can expect a blend of action and comedy, much like the first film. Joining Devgn in the sequel are Mrunal Thakur in the lead female role, and Sanjay Dutt, who returns as the menacing Don. The cast also includes Sanjay Mishra, who steps in to replace Vijay Raaz.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn Films and Jio Studios, Son of Sardaar 2 promises to be a grand spectacle. The film has faced some casting changes, with Sanjay Dutt initially facing visa issues that would have prevented him from joining the UK schedule. However, it was later confirmed that Dutt would still be part of the film.
Son of Sardaar 2 marks Ajay Devgn's return to lighter, comic roles after a series of serious action films. The film is expected to clash at the box office with Param Sundari, starring Siddharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. With the release date drawing closer, fans are eager to see if Son of Sardaar 2 will recreate the magic of the original and deliver another iconic entry for Ajay Devgn.
