Ajay Devgn is back as the lovable, loud, and wildly unpredictable Jassi. And this time, he’s brought the whole crew — and their madness — to the Scottish highlands. The teaser for Son of Sardaar 2, released online on Thursday, is pure chaos in the best way possible.
It’s got kilts, it’s got bagpipes, it’s got brawls on cobblestone streets — all layered with Punjabi energy and that signature Ajay Devgn smirk. Welcome to Son of Sardaar 2 — the sequel nobody saw coming, but everyone’s now watching.
Scotland Becomes Sardaar Territory
It’s official. From glens to graveyards, Scotland is no longer just the land of whisky and wool. In Son of Sardaar 2, it’s become the new battleground for confused romance, slapstick misadventures, and full-throttle Desi drama.
The production team didn’t just fly over for a few postcard shots either. Key parts of the film were shot on location across Edinburgh, Glasgow, and even the misty Highlands. According to insiders, Ajay Devgn was adamant about keeping the authenticity of Scotland intact — even if Jassi wasn’t exactly behaving like your average tourist.
One-line pause: It’s a proper culture collision.
In the teaser, you can spot vintage stone cottages, highland cattle (yes, really), and even a scene set against the backdrop of the Forth Bridge. All while characters shout in Punjabi, fall over tables, and break into dance numbers.
The blend? Ridiculous and perfect.
A Star-Studded, Riot-Ready Ensemble
Devgn’s not riding solo this time. The sequel boasts a packed cast, each actor seemingly more unhinged than the last. You’ve got Mrunal Thakur as Rabiya, the no-nonsense love interest, and Ravi Kishan turning up the volume as only he can.
Let’s break it down, quickfire style:
-
Mrunal Thakur – fresh, fierce, and funny as Rabiya
-
Ravi Kishan – loud, larger-than-life, in top form
-
Sanjay Mishra – the comedy backbone
-
Neeru Bajwa – elegance with sass
-
Kubbra Sait – unpredictable energy
-
Ashwini Kalsekar – classic deadpan delivery
-
Vindu Dara Singh – physical comedy gold
-
The late Mukul Dev – emotional nostalgia, playing Tony
Fans will also notice Mukul Dev in a few teaser clips — his presence giving the film a bittersweet edge. The actor, who passed away earlier this year, was part of the original Son of Sardaar cast and returns here in what now stands as one of his final roles.
The Madness Teaser: Loud, Bright, and Proud
Released by Devgn himself on X (formerly Twitter), the teaser wastes no time. It opens with that unmistakable Son of Sardaar background score — now remixed and amped up. What follows is a blur of action, flirtation, and accidental explosions.
The tone? Pure madness. The pacing? Blink and you’ll miss a gag.
Lines are shouted more than spoken. Characters fall into canals. Bagpipes are weaponized. And in the middle of it all is Jassi — riding a bicycle downhill in a turban with a dozen people chasing him.
Ajay’s caption said it best: “Sardaar ki entry ka countdown aaj se shuru. Welcome to the madness of Sardaar & Co.”
One crew member described the shoot in Scotland as “controlled chaos.” They weren’t kidding.
From Sardaar 1 to Now: What’s Changed?
Let’s rewind a bit.
The original Son of Sardaar dropped in 2012 — a loud, happy-go-lucky film with action, gags, and a pretty absurd plotline involving two feuding families. It was classic masala — no logic, just vibes.
The sequel, however, isn’t just a rehash.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, SOS2 leans harder into ensemble comedy and seems far more self-aware. There’s more finesse in the action scenes, more bite in the writing, and a deliberate attempt to take the madness global.
Even the location is symbolic. Scotland, often seen in period dramas or thrillers, becomes the most unlikely setting for this Punjab-meets-kilts circus.
Here’s a quick compare-the-films table:
| Feature | Son of Sardaar (2012) | Son of Sardaar 2 (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Punjab, India | Scotland (Edinburgh, Highlands) |
| Lead Pair | Ajay Devgn & Sonakshi Sinha | Ajay Devgn & Mrunal Thakur |
| Genre | Action-Comedy | Comedy-Drama-Action |
| Director | Ashwni Dhir | Vijay Kumar Arora |
| Ensemble Depth | Moderate | Fully Packed |
| Music | Traditional, Folk | Remix + OG Track |
The sequel has clearly evolved in scale, tone, and ambition — while keeping the core vibe intact.
July 25 Release: Summer of Sardaar
The countdown is on. With its teaser already racking up shares, memes, and reaction videos, Son of Sardaar 2 is locked in for a July 25 theatrical release.
The date pits it against a few mid-budget dramas, but industry analysts expect SOS2 to open big, thanks to Devgn’s strong fan base and nostalgia pull. Plus, the timing — peak summer holiday season — is spot on.
One trade expert said, “It’s funny, loud, and family-friendly. That combo always sells, especially in smaller towns and diaspora-heavy markets.”
Marketing has leaned heavily into the Scotland angle. Posters, teaser cuts, even merch is decked out with tartan patterns and faux bagpipes.
You know what? It kind of works.
