Heaping praise on co-star Sunny Deol and talking about Border 2, Varun shared, “A war can never be won by an individual; it takes all forces to come together. In Border2, we have the Army, Navy, and Air Force together—oh yeah, and also the one-man army, Sunny Deol.”

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is the spiritual sequel to the 1997 epic war action-drama film.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 is all set to hit cinemas on January 23, 2026, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend. The film also stars Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, and Medha Rana in lead roles.
In Border 2, Varun Dhawan is all set to play the role of an Indian Army officer inspired by the real-life hero, PVC Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya. Talking about his intense prep for the film, he revealed to a fan, “I in fact injured my tailbone while shooting the Battle of Basantar. I shot for 40 days in Babina for that, with real soldiers.”
