Mumbai, Jan 16 (NationPress) The filming for the highly anticipated movie “Border 2” has officially commenced, with Bollywood star Varun Dhawan joining the crew in Jhansi, Madhya Pradesh.

A photograph from the filming location has surfaced, showcasing Varun alongside Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta as they pose with the film’s clapboard.
This film is directed by Anurag Singh and serves as a sequel to the iconic 1997 film “Border”, which depicted the events surrounding the Battle of Longewala (1971). Originally directed by J. P. Dutta, the film reflects the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
The original featured stars like Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Akshaye Khanna, Sudesh Berry, Puneet Issar, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Tabu, Raakhee, Pooja Bhatt, and Sharbani Mukherjee.
“Border 2” will feature Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty alongside Varun. The narrative seems to revolve around the 1999 Kargil War, which began when Pakistani forces crossed the Line of Control (LoC) and seized Indian territory primarily in the Kargil district.
This sequel is supported by an exceptional production team, including Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta. Directed by Anurag Singh, and presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series in collaboration with JP Dutta’s J.P. Films, this sequel is set to take viewers on an extraordinary journey of patriotism, bravery, and sacrifice.
It is slated for release on January 23, 2026.
On January 15, Varun paid tribute to the “real heroes” of India in celebration of Army Day.
