Ajay Devgn is set to return to his comedic roots with the upcoming sequel Son of Sardaar 2. The trailer, unveiled at a grand launch event in Mumbai, introduces Mrunal Thakur as the new female lead. Shifting the setting from Punjab to Scotland, the film promises a quirky mix of slapstick humor, romance, and chaotic adventures.
From Punjab to Scotland: Slapstick, Chaos, and Nostalgia
The trailer opens on a hilarious note with Ajay’s character watching an elderly woman perform a pole dance before calling her “bebe” moments before she faints. This sets the tone for a comedy of errors as Ajay and Mrunal’s characters get entangled in a chaotic mission to get someone married. Along the way, they’re joined by a host of eccentric characters, resulting in a comedy packed with absurd moments and over-the-top antics.
The trailer also revives popular dialogues from the original film—like “Just Joking” and “Kadi Hass Bhi Liya Karo”—bringing a wave of nostalgia. There’s also a politically charged moment referencing Pakistan and a nod to Sunny Deol’s Border, adding layers to the film’s humor.
Audience Reaction: Mixed Emotions and Memes Galore
While some fans were thrilled to see Ajay’s return to comedy, others missed Sonakshi Sinha, citing a lack of chemistry between Ajay and Mrunal. Social media was flooded with mixed reactions—some calling it “Circus 2.0,” while others celebrated Ajay’s return to his fun-loving avatar.
