The 1971 India-Pakistan war was portrayed in JP Dutta's cult classic, Border, which is considered to be among India's most famous war films. One of the most memorable parts of Suniel Shetty's career is his portrayal of the valiant and selfless Captain Bhairon Singh, who sacrifices his life on the battlefield.

With JP Dutta once again supporting the project, the sequel seeks to rekindle the same sense of patriotism nearly thirty years later. Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty play important parts in the ensemble cast of Border 2, and Sunny Deol returns to his iconic role from the first film.

Adding an emotional layer to his announcement, Ahan included a special message for his father: “And to you, Papa—everything I am is because of you, and I’ll do my best to honor the legacy you’ve worked so hard to create."

Suniel Shetty, meanwhile, was last seen playing powerful, authoritative roles in Kesari Veer. In Border 2, a story that has been told for generations emotionally connects father and son.
