Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is poised to be a grand cinematic event, featuring a star-studded cast that includes Sunny Deol reprising his iconic role, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
The original film, directed by JP Dutta, was a milestone in Indian cinema, depicting the 1971 India-Pakistan war and introducing memorable characters, such as Suniel Shetty’s portrayal of BSF officer Bhairav Singh.
A special aspect of the sequel is Ahan Shetty’s casting, as he steps into the shoes of his father, Suniel Shetty.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Ahan expressed his emotional connection to the Border franchise: “Border is more than a film–it’s a legacy, an emotion, and a dream come true,” he wrote.
Reflecting on his deep bond with the film, he shared, “Ironic how life works–my journey with Border started 29 years ago, when mom visited dad on set while pregnant with me. I grew up hearing OP Dutta’s legendary stories, holding JP uncle’s hand, and sitting by @nidhiduttaofficial side. I never realized how much those moments would shape my love for cinema and the Indian Armed Forces.”
He continued by expressing his gratitude to the filmmakers, saying, “Now, being part of Border 2 is an absolute honour. JP uncle, thank you for continuing to hold my hand, I hope to make you very very proud.”
The emotional passing of the baton from father to son is beautifully captured in a montage video shared by the makers, showcasing iconic scenes from the original Border, accompanied by Ahan’s emotional voiceover.
Alongside Ahan Shetty, the film also stars Diljit Dosanjh in a leading role.
