After the success of ‘Gadar 2’, Sunny Deol will start shooting for the sequel of his 1997 blockbuster, ‘Border’ in October 2024. The film also stars Ayushmann Khurrana. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is produced by JP Dutta, Nidhi Dutta and Bhushan Kumar.
A source close to the developments has revealed, “The team behind Border 2 has been working tirelessly to prepare everything and it’s been a long time in the making as they wanted to do justice to the magnitude of the first film. Now, as the preparations are almost done, the team will begin shooting, as it stands now, the team will begin shooting in October.”
On the other hand, in an earlier statement, sources had also spoken about the plotline of the film wherein it was stated that the film will not be a sequel of sorts as the source had added, “Border 2 is not going to be a sequel but instead it is a story that took place the same night of Border’s events. The battle of Longewala was fought not just by our Indian army but the Navy and the Air Force was also involved and the story of Border 2 will recap events from the perspectives of all three wings of the Indian Armed Forces.”
Recently, while speaking to Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast, Sunny Deol shared that this sequel was initially thought of in 2015. When asked if it is being revived, the Apne actor said in Hindi, “I’ve also heard that they’re making Border 2. We were meant to start it a lot earlier, in 2015. But then my films flopped, so people were scared to make it then. Now, everyone wants to make it.”
The film is slated for release during the Republic Day weekend of 2026.
