At the Mumbai screening of Border 2, actors Varun Dhawan and Sunny Deol shared a heartfelt moment that delighted fans and attendees alike. As the event began, Varun arrived first, and when Sunny Deol made his entrance, the two stars exchanged warm greetings and smiles.

In a respectful gesture rooted in Indian tradition, Varun touched Sunny Deol’s feet — a sign of admiration and reverence for the veteran actor — before the pair embraced in a warm hug on the red carpet.

The interaction was captured on video and widely shared across social media, quickly becoming one of the more emotional highlights of the evening.

This visible display of affection and respect comes as Border 2 — the much-anticipated sequel to the iconic 1997 war drama Border — makes its theatrical debut on January 23, 2026. The film has already generated significant buzz thanks to its ensemble cast, which includes Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and newcomer Ahan Shetty, and its release timed around the Republic Day weekend to maximise patriotic engagement.

The film’s premiere also saw other notable figures from entertainment and sports in attendance, adding to the buzz around Border 2 as it enters its first week in theatres. The grand premiere was attended by the lead cast, including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Sonam Bajwa, producer Bhushan Kumar and others.
