Diljit Dosanjh exits from No Entry 2
Amid the shocking news of Paresh Rawal`s exit from Hera Pheri 3, Bollywood is seeing a pattern of actors signing the dotted line of a film contract and later, walking out of the same. While some blame "creative differences with the director", others are in a dilemma about their role in a bigger star cast.
Before the veteran actor announced his exit from Priyadarshan`s comedy drama, it was Diljit Dosanjh who quit No Entry 2, followed by Ayushmann Khurrana walking out of Border 2.
When Hera Pheri 3 was announced with its iconic trio, Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty) and Baburao (Paresh Rawal) coming together, fans and cinephiles were ecstatic. However, it all soon went downhill with Akshay`s probable exit followed by Rawal walking away.

A source close to the development suggested creative differences with the filmmaker and added, “There were creative differences between the makers and Paresh Rawal. As a result, the actor decided to step down from the film.”
However, the Hungama actor rubbished the same and said, “I wish to put it on record that my decision to step away from Hera Pheri 3 was not due to creative differences. I REITERATE THAT THERE ARE NO CREATIVE DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE FILMMAKER. I hold immense love, respect, and faith in Mr Priyadarshan, the film director.”

But what is wrong with Bollywood? Why are actors quitting after signing the dotted lines on a movie contract? Let`s understand the pattern.
Diljit Dosanjh quits No Entry 2
The Punjabi actor-singer, who is fresh off the Met Gala carpet creating a historic look, has chosen to walk away from the sequel of Boney Kapoor`s comedy drama. The film also stars Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor.

A source close to the development confirmed Dosanjh`s exit and said, “Diljit was very excited to collaborate with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor. But over the last few weeks, he couldn`t align with the film`s creative ideas. That`s why he`s decided to leave the project because of creative differences.”
However, Boney Kapoor denied these rumours and clarified, “Yes, there are date issues, but certainly no creative differences. That is absolutely false. We are trying our best to work the dates out.”
Ayushmann Khurrana walks out of Border 2
Another highly anticipated Bollywood sequel, the patriotic drama is all set to bring back the goosebumps and nationalistic spirit among fans. However, with a large ensemble, Khurrana found his spot a little lost.
A source was quoted saying, “He was in talks to play a soldier in the sequel. While both Ayushmann and the makers were keen on collaborating, the actor felt unsure of his positioning in an ensemble led by Sunny Deol.”
“Nothing is confirmed yet. But Diljit has been approached by the makers. It will be a treat to see Diljit and Sunny together on screen,” the source further added.
