About Border 2
While the 1997 film was based on the events of the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Border 2 is also set against the backdrop of the same conflict. The movie reportedly didn`t find a release in six Gulf nations — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — due its alleged anti-Pakistan narrative. A response from the makers is awaited. It is the second Indian film in recent times to be denied clearance for theatrical release in the Gulf countries after director Aditya Dhar`s spy action movie Dhurandhar.
Border 2 is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Dutta and Nidhi Dutta. It also features , Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana in pivotal roles
