Ajay Devgn drops two brand-new posters for the upcoming Son of Sardaar 2, teasing a wild cultural collision between Punjabi bravado and Scottish landscapes ahead of its July 25 release.
Ajay Devgn is dusting off his turban and swagger—and this time, he’s taking the madness all the way to Scotland. The actor-producer unveiled two fiery new posters for Son of Sardaar 2 on June 20, and they’re already lighting up social media.
The posters scream big-screen chaos. One shows Devgn charging forward in a kilt-and-kurta mashup, set against a bagpipe-blaring backdrop. The other? Him leaping through a fiery whisky barrel—because of course.
The caption? “He survived Punjab… Will he survive Scotland?” That pretty much says it all.
A Sequel with a Twist—and a Whole New Continent
The original Son of Sardaar dropped in 2012 and turned out to be a rambunctious family entertainer with a loyal fanbase. It blended slapstick, slow-mo action, and emotional monologues like only Bollywood can. Set in a hyper-stylized Punjab, it was loud, messy, and unapologetically over-the-top.
Now, the sequel shifts the scenery but keeps the soul.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and jointly produced by Ajay Devgn FFilms, Jio Studios, and T-Series, Son of Sardaar 2 isn’t a conventional continuation. It’s what Bollywood calls a “spiritual sequel” — same flavour, different plate.
Scotland takes centre stage. Rolling hills, bagpipes, kilts, castles. But don’t expect Outlander. Think Carry On Jatt meets Fast & Furious: Inverness Drift.

The Cast Is As Wild As the Setting
Let’s talk casting. Devgn returns to his now-iconic role as Jassi, the unwitting warrior with a heart of gold and fists of steel. But he’s not riding solo.
Joining him:
-
Sanjay Dutt, who looks like he could punch through a pub door just by squinting.
-
Mrunal Thakur, bringing poise and punch in equal measure.
-
Sanjay Mishra, whose comic timing guarantees at least three viral memes.
-
The late Mukul Dev, making his final screen appearance.
If early buzz is to be believed, Dutt’s character is either a Scottish gangster with a whisky empire or a bagpipe-fearing warlord with a history of beef with Jassi. Maybe both.
Posters Tease Mayhem, Kilts, and Bhangra in the Streets
The two new posters tell you exactly what kind of chaos is coming.
One features Devgn mid-air, smashing through barrels with flying embers in the background. His outfit? A strange but somehow fabulous fusion of tartan and kurta.
The second poster leans into the fish-out-of-water theme. Jassi, standing clueless in the middle of a misty glen, holding a sword too heavy for comfort, while bagpipers look on in horror.
And if the posters weren’t enough, Devgn’s caption whipped fans into a frenzy.
“He survived Punjab… Will he survive Scotland?”
It’s tongue-in-cheek. It’s dramatic. It’s exactly what fans want.
Bollywood Meets the Highlands: What to Expect
Based on everything released so far, this isn’t just a Punjabi in Scotland. It’s a genre mashup on steroids.
Expect:
-
Over-the-top action involving whisky barrels and castle staircases
-
Dance-offs that fuse bhangra and Highland reels
-
Jassi explaining desi honour codes to flabbergasted Scots
-
Sanjay Mishra getting lost in a haggis shop (unconfirmed, but likely)
Sources close to the production say the film features a six-minute chase through Edinburgh, complete with drones, sheep, and a tourist bus crash. No CGI—just chaos.
One-sentence paragraph here.
Behind the Madness: The Vision of Vijay Kumar Arora
Director Vijay Kumar Arora, who previously helmed Harjeeta and co-directed Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, has a reputation for finding that tricky balance between humour and emotion. And he’s bringing that to this sequel.
In an interview with a film blog last month, he hinted that Son of Sardaar 2 would be “larger than life, but grounded in love, honour, and confusion.”
His words, not ours.
Still, it makes sense. Arora has a way of using chaos as a backdrop for quiet, emotional moments. If he pulls it off, Son of Sardaar 2 could be more than just a laugh riot—it might even have heart.
The Buzz, The Date, The Stakes
Social media is already popping. Within hours of the poster drop, hashtags like #SonOfSardaar2, #JassiReturns, and #BagpipesAndBhangra began trending.
Some fans are thrilled about the setting, calling it “Bollywood’s boldest export to Scotland since Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s bagpipe guy.” Others are just excited to see Devgn back in full action-comedy mode after a string of intense roles.
As for box office expectations, trade insiders are watching the July 25 release closely. It lands just ahead of the Raksha Bandhan holiday window, often a golden weekend for Hindi cinema.
No one’s calling it a guaranteed blockbuster—but no one’s betting against Devgn either.
