Directed and co-written by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is the sequel to the iconic 1997 war film Border, originally helmed by J.P. Dutta. The new film expands the scale of the original, presenting a multi-front war narrative that brings together the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
Sunny Deol plays Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler, a commanding officer who mentors young soldiers portrayed by Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film also features Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana in important roles.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta under T-Series Films and J.P. Films, Border 2 has shown strong commercial momentum. According to Sacnilk, the film has collected ₹95.75 crore worldwide so far, reflecting continued audience enthusiasm for patriotic war dramas.
