Following the commencement of filming by Varun Dhawan in the secluded armed forces cantonment areas of Jhansi, the legendary Gadar star has now joined the action-packed production, bringing his signature intensity and patriotic fervor to the film.
Larger-Than-Life Sequences in Historic Jhansi

An exclusive picture from the sets showcases Deol posing with co-star Varun Dhawan, director Anurag Singh, and producers Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta, among others. The image is already making waves among fans, who are eagerly awaiting the sequel to the 1997 blockbuster Border, written, produced, and directed by JP Dutta.
T-Series Confirms the Action-Packed Journey
Production house T-Series had earlier shared an update on social media, stating, “Action, grit, and patriotism! Actor Varun Dhawan begins the #Border2 journey in the scenic cantonment areas of Jhansi with Producers Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, Co-producer Shiv Chanana, and director Anurag Singh leading the way.

Sunny Deol’s Emotional Announcement
The sequel was officially announced by Sunny Deol in September last year. Taking to social media, the veteran actor shared an emotional message, saying, “27 saal pehle ek fauji ne vada kiya tha ki vo vapas aayega. Ussi vaade ko poora karne, Hindustan ki mitti ko apna salaam kehne, aa raha hai” (27 years ago, a soldier made a promise that he would return. To fulfill that promise and to salute the soil of India, he is returning).
This heartfelt declaration resonated deeply with fans of the original Border, which remains one of the most iconic war films in Indian cinema.
