An announcement regarding the much-anticipated sequel to J.P. Dutta’s iconic 1997 war drama “Border” has been made, and along with this, it also reveals the stellar cast that the movie boasts. The announcement of “Border 2” sent excitement amongst the fans as one gets to see the popular singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role with Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan. Helmed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, the movie promises to be a grand cinematic experience.
Diljit Dosanjh Joins Cast On Friday, Diljit Dosanjh went on to announce the big news of his association with “Border 2.” He dropped a teaser from the movie on his gram, along with a hard-hitting statement: “Pehli Goli Dushman Chalaega aur Akhri Goli Hum” – which roughly translates to, “Our enemies will fire the first bullet, but we will fire the last”. Diljit says he is ‘humbled’ to be a part of such a strong team and to walk in the shoes of soldiers. The teaser, playing on the famous lines by Sonu Nigam as “Sandese Aate Hai” from the original film, begins with Diljit’s haunting voice: “Any eye that dares to cast an evil glance at our nation is brought low, for her soldiers stand ready to shed their blood.”
"Border": A Patriotic Classic of Indian Cinema
The original “Border,” released in 1997, is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and depicts the Battle of Longewala. Sunny Deol played Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri, a part of an ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Akshaye Khanna, Sudesh Berry, Puneet Issar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Tabu, Rakhee, Pooja Bhatt, and Sharbani Mukherjee. The movie emerged as a blockbuster and remains one of the most favorite patriotic movies in Indian cinema.
