During the promotional activities, she was asked about why she was not part of Son of Sardaar 2, especially since her pairing with Ajay Devgn was loved by audiences in the original. Sonakshi responded with a candid explanation about her absence from the film.

She said, “What can I say about this? I didn’t make the film. Maybe there were changes, or the storyline is different. It could also be that my character was not needed this time.” She further clarified that it wasn’t because of any personal conflict or replacement, but rather because the script had changed, and her character didn’t fit into the story of the sequel.

The Changing Dynamics of Son of Sardaar 2

Sonakshi’s statement sheds light on the fact that the script of Son of Sardaar 2 might have undergone some significant changes.
