Ajay Devgn shared the first poster and the release date of Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to his 2012 comedy of the same name. The film, directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, is scheduled to release on July 25.

Ajay shared the poster on his social media, which shows him in a turban, twisting his moustache while standing on two tankers, a callback to his introductory scene in Phool Aur Kaante (1991) which marked his debut. “The Return of the Sardaar #SOS2 in cinemas near you on 25th July.
#SardaarIsBack #SonOfSardaar2,” he captioned the post.

The film also stars Mrunal Thakur, Sanjay Dutt, Sahil Mehta, Kubbra Sait, Sanjay Mishra and Ravi Kishan.

While the plot details of the sequel are still under wraps, the 2012 prequel was a remake of S.S. Rajamouli’s Telugu film Maryada Ramanna (2010) and told the story of Jaswinder, played by Ajay, who falls in love with Sukhmit, played by Sonakshi Sinha, which leads to an angry exchange between him and her family. It was directed by Ashwini Dhir and also starred Sanjay Dutt.

Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, Son of Sardaar 2 is produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja and co-produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.
