About Border 2

The idea of a sequel had been brewing for years. In 2013, JP Dutta had initially announced Border 2, with plans to cast Ravinder Singh Sodhi and Nafisa Ali’s son, Ajit Sodhi. However, the project changed over time.

The official green light for the new Border 2 came on June 13, 2024, when it was confirmed that Sunny Deol would reprise his role. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is scheduled for a grand release on January 23, 2026, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend.

Carrying forward the legacy of the iconic 1997 film Border, Border 2 is directed by Anurag Singh, the director known for blockbusters like Kesari and the Jatt & Juliet series. The original film’s creator, JP Dutta, returns as producer alongside his daughter Nidhi Dutta under the JP Films banner. Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar are also backing the project under T-Series.

Cast of Border 2

Besides Sunny Deol, the ensemble cast includes Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty, among others, setting the stage for a powerful and emotional war drama.

Meanwhile, Sunny Deol was last seen in Jaat, which hit the screens on April 10, 2025. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, Jaat also featured Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Saiyami Kher in pivotal roles.
