‘Son of Sardaar 2' trailer: Ajay Devgn returns in comedy sequel set in Scotland
The trailer opens with the question, 'Will he survive Scotland?' and follows Devgn's character as he navigates unfamiliar surroundings and a series of comic situations. The story introduces several characters tied to a wedding, with humour built around cultural contrasts and exaggerated misunderstandings.
The film features Mrunal Thakur opposite Devgn. Other cast members include Ravi Kishan, Mukul Dev, Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh, Dolly Ahluwalia, and Neeru Bajwa. Mukul Dev, who passed away in May 2024, appears here in his final film role.
Son of Sardaar, released in 2012, earned approximately ₹100 crore at the box office. It released alongside Jab Tak Hai Jaan, the final film by Yash Chopra, and the simultaneous release led to a dispute over screen distribution. Ajay Devgn filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India against Yash Raj Films at the time.
Speaking about the issue in a recent interview with The Lallantop, actor Kajol, who is married to Devgn, said she felt 'helpless' during the disagreement. She noted that both sides were defending their positions and that time was needed to allow tensions to settle.
Director Vijay Kumar Arora is known for Punjabi-language films including Godday Godday Chaa and Kali Jotta. Son of Sardaar 2 marks his return to Hindi cinema.

Sardaar Ji 3 Box Office Collections: Diljit Dosanjh starrer marches past 50 crore overseas
Sardaar Ji 3 has marched past Rs. 50 crore mark overseas on its fifteenth day of release. The Diljit Dosanjh starrer grossed USD 175K on its third Friday, taking its total gross to USD 6 million (Rs. 51 crore). The film is only second Punjabi film to gross Rs. 50 crore overseas after Jatt and Juliet 3. It is projected to earn over USD 550K this weekend, which will keep it on course to overtake Jatt and Juliet 3 final overseas tally. The main differentiator between Sardaar Ji 3 and J&J3 is Pakistan, where the former has emerged as a box office juggernaut. It has grossed nearly PKR 30 crore so far and will soon become the biggest Indian film in the country, surpassing Sanju and Sultan. The way it is going, it could go on to gross over PKR 50 crore there. The film features a Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir, which has led to the film being denied a theatrical release in India. However, that has amplified its appeal in Pakistan and the Pakistani diaspora abroad. In what are generally the two biggest overseas markets for Punjabi films, Canada and Australia, the film is trailing behind Jatt and Juliet 3. But wherever, Pakistani diaspora has a good presence, that market has overperformed. In the United Kingdom, it is set to overtake Jatt and Juliet 3 in a day or two and will emerge biggest Punjabi film from India. Similarly, the Middle East is already close to double that of J&J3. Norway, a small market but driven by the Pakistani diaspora, has grossed USD 40K, well ahead of any other Indian Punjabi film. Despite its remarkable overseas run, the absence of a release in India has significantly dented its worldwide number. Needless to say, with a release in India, the film would have cruised past Rs. 100 crore mark and quite possibly beaten Jatt and Juliet 3 as the biggest Punjabi film ever. The domestic market for Punjabi films has been in dire need of HITs since September last year. Eventhough films have done well, some even did BLOCKBUSTER numbers overseas, things have been silent domestically. Sardaar Ji 3 was hoped to be that film but that hasn't happened. There are whispers that Sardaar Ji 3 may get a release in India this August, but given the political complications, that remains a long shot.

‘Aap mandir jao, club jao, dono taraf aapki burai karni hai logo ko': Kajol's golden advice to her kids on dealing with criticism
Kajol and her husband Ajay Devgn have been a part of the Bollywood film industry for many years now, and over the years have developed a thick skin against trolls and haters. However, like all parents, they too are vulnerable to any external onslaught or criticism against their children. During a recent episode of Sunday Brunch on Curly Tales, when host Kamiya Jani asked if she loses her cool over comments passed at her children, the Dilwale actor calmly replied: 'Of course you get angry, you get upset. But like I told Nysa (her daughter) also, you have to know what you are doing. I said, 'As long as you are comfortable, you have to understand that people will talk about you regardless of what you do.' 'Whether you do right or wrong, aap mandir jao, club jao, dono taraf aapki burai karni hai logo ko (Whether you go to a temple or club, people will speak ill of you). You can't take it so seriously that you worry about it or go mad over it,' added the Maa actor. But it's not always easy to shrug off criticism and find peace within. Rima Bhandekar, a psychologist at Mpower, Aditya Birla Education Trust, told that hearing or reading criticism can feel hurtful and linger for days in our minds. 'At times, criticism might seem unfair, harsh, or even impolite. But with a growth mindset, we can handle other people's points of view with elegance and good spirit, and use them as fodder to reinvent ourselves with time,' she said. 'When we hear loud, public criticism about our abilities, instead of shutting down or fighting back, people with a growth mindset take it in like data, and calmly decide to improve where it matters. Growth mindset is like rewriting the script mid-scene, taking the plot to a new direction with more depth. It's the difference between collapsing under pressure and rising through an unpleasant experience,' Bhandekar explained. She suggested a 3-step process to stand tall against external and unwarranted criticism: When you receive criticism, try to look at it from a third-person perspective first—'How would a positive influence in my life, someone who is a successful and calm person, treat this criticism?' Then, focus on the useful and actionable parts of the criticism point, trying to separate the tone from the message. Hearing words that show you in a negative light can cause strong reactions such as anger, shame, frustration, or a feeling of worthlessness. In such times, it is very important to take a moment to mentally pause before reacting. A few deep breaths, talking to someone wise in your circle, writing down answers to self-reflective questions, or taking a quick walk can help you avoid overthinking the criticism. Respond to disapproval with gratitude and humility. If you can thank the person for their feedback, it will signal that you are open to learning. Use the critical message as an opportunity to prove yourself to others. Don't let negativity change you from working towards your bigger dreams. If you are told off for not meeting expectations, talk to expert people about how you can advance over time. According to Bhandekar, it always helps to get a fresh perspective from others to process through the emotions attached to criticism. Recognize that everyone can have an opinion about you, whether you like it or not, and think about yourself through a lens of kindness to avoid excessive self-judgment.
