Sanjay Dutt Dropped from Son of Sardaar 2 After UK Visa Rejection

As reported by Indian media outlets, Sanjay Dutt was dropped from the cast of ‘Son of Sardaar 2’, scheduled to be shot in Scotland, after his UK visa application was rejected.

According to the details, his visa application was rejected due to his incarceration in the past. Quoting a source close to the production, Indian publications reported, “Ever since his arrest in 1993, while Sanju has traveled to the US, he has applied for a UK visa multiple times, but never got one. The Son of Sardaar 2 shoot would have been his first trip to the UK.”

“However, after Ajay’s team found out that the senior actor’s visa request had been rejected, they replaced him with Ravi Kishan,” the insider also confirmed.
