Son of Sardaar is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Ashwni Dhir. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla.[4][5] Based on S. S. Rajamouli's 2010 Telugu film Maryada Ramanna, it was released on 13 November 2012.

Although competing with the Yash Raj film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Son of Sardaar managed to do good business at the box office worldwide. It received a divided response, with praise for its humour, the performance of all cast, stylised action sequences, and familiar tone, but criticism for the screenplay.[6] Box Office India declared it a Hit in India and an average grosser in the overseas markets.[7][8] It went on to gross 161.48 crore (US$19 million) worldwide.[9]

A spiritual sequel, Son of Sardaar 2, is currently shooting with a planned 2025 release. Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt will return alongside an ensemble cast featuring Mrunal Thakur, Vindu Dara Singh, and others.[10]
