About Border 2
Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, JP Dutta and Krishan Kumar, the film is a standalone sequel to the 1997 classic Border. It stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh in lead roles, alongside Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Medha Rana and Sonam Bajwa in key roles.
Like the original, the story is rooted in the Indo-Pak War of 1971. This time, the narrative unfolds through three perspectives: Indian Army Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya (Varun Dhawan), Indian Navy Lt Cdr MS Rawat (Ahan Shetty), and Indian Air Force Fg Offr Nirmal Jit Singh (Diljit Dosanjh), along with their senior, Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler (Sunny Deol). Their individual journeys and shared sense of duty form the spine of the film.
The film received positive reviews upon release and went on to become a major box office success. It surpassed films like Fighter, Uri: The Surgical Strike and Kesari to become the highest-grossing Indian war film ever, collecting ₹432 crore worldwide.
Speaking about the film’s success, Sunny Deol said at a press conference, “Itne saal pata nahi kahan chhupa hua tha (I don’t know where it was hiding all these years). It’s really sweet. I just want to say this to everyone – work hard, love your profession, don’t get disheartened. Time is something you never know when it will come and when it will go, but you should be ready for it. Yeh sab mere papa ki blessings and Waheguru di meher hai (This is all because of my father’s blessings and God’s grace)… People loved me before as well, and they love me even today. Wherever I go, I receive so much love.”
