Son of Sardaar 2 OTT Release: Where to watch Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt's action comedy after its theatrical run
Son of Sardaar 2 OTT Release: After over a decade, the wildly popular Sardar is back, and this time, he's bringing an even louder dhol with him. Son of Sardaar 2, the much-awaited sequel to the 2012 comedy-action entertainer, is all set to hit theatres on July 25, 2025. But if you're not a fan of the big screen rush or just prefer your popcorn at home, there's good news: the film will stream exclusively on Netflix after its theatrical run. Cast and crew of Son of Sardaar 2 Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, Son of Sardaar 2 brings back the fan-favourite pairing of Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt, whose on-screen rivalry in the original won over masses and single screens alike. Also joining the cast is Mrunal Thakur, stepping in as the new female lead. Other known faces include Sanjay Mishra (replacing Vijay Raaz), Ravi Kishan, Kubbra Sait, Vindu Dara Singh, and the late Mukul Dev. The script has been penned by celebrated Punjabi writer Jagdeep Sidhu, while music duties go to Himesh Reshammiya. Son of Sardaar 2 is being produced under Ajay Devgn's home banner, in collaboration with Jio Studios and T-Series. More about Son of Sardaar 2 The film's shooting began in July 2024 and travelled across stunning locales from Scotland's Edinburgh and Firth of Forth to London's buzzing streets, before returning to India for major chunks in Chandigarh and rural Punjab. A teaser for the film has already been approved by the CBFC and is expected to drop in late June 2025, possibly attached to Kajol's upcoming horror thriller Maa. Recap Released in 2012, Son of Sardaar was a boisterous masala film that clicked big time at the box office. Ajay played a London-return Sardar caught in a centuries-old family feud in Punjab, hosted (and almost killed) by his enemies, led by Sanjay Dutt's intense Billu. But the twist? Indian hospitality rules meant Jassi couldn't be harmed inside the house, giving birth to cat-and-mouse comedy, romance (with Sonakshi Sinha), and stylised action.
