The trailer launch of Son of Sardaar 2 in Mumbai turned into an emotional tribute as the cast and crew remembered late actor Mukul Dev, whose final on-screen appearance will be in the upcoming film. What began as a celebratory event quickly became a heartfelt moment of reflection, as co-stars like Ravi Kishan and Kubra Sait honoured the actor’s legacy, both on and off the screen.Ravi Kishan, who reportedly stepped into a role originally written for Sanjay Dutt, shared an emotional tribute to his late co-star. “Mukul was very excited for the film. Wherever you are, Mukul, we love you and we miss you,” he said, urging audiences to watch the film in Mukul’s memory. “He was an incredible actor, and today we all are missing him.”Kubra Sait, who plays a significant role in Son of Sardaar 2, reminisced about her warm bond with the late Mukul Dev during the film’s shoot. She shared how he was always the first to arrive on set and how the team, including director Vijay Arora, often teased him affectionately. Having known him for years, Kubra recalled the joy of their playful moments and admitted that his absence is deeply felt by everyone.In his final days, Mukul Dev was reportedly battling deep loneliness. The passing of his parents had left a lasting impact on him, and he was said to be missing his daughter immensely. Just days after his death, his elder brother Rahul Dev revealed that Mukul had been in the ICU for over eight days, and his health had deteriorated due to prolonged poor eating habits. Toward the end, he had completely stopped eating and seemed to have lost the will to live.Mukul Dev had an impressive career spanning both Hindi and Punjabi cinema, with notable performances across genres. His comic turn in Son of Sardaar remains a fan favourite to this day. Beyond acting, he also explored screenwriting—penning the script for Hansal Mehta’s critically acclaimed film Omerta, a lesser-known facet of his creative journey.
