After the massive success of Jaat, Sunny Deol has dived straight back into work mode for his next big venture, Border 2. The veteran actor is currently filming the much-awaited sequel in the scenic locales of Dehradun.
Sunny shared a glimpse of the breathtaking sunset from his shoot location through his Instagram stories, marveling at the view and saying, "So...so...so.. beautiful." He captioned the clip, "Reached Border shooting wild weather and beautiful sunset in Dehradun," capturing the serene yet dramatic backdrop.
Joining Sunny in Border 2 are Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and Diljit Dosanjh, adding youthful energy to the star-studded cast. Earlier this year, a behind-the-scenes image from the sets in Jhansi had surfaced online, featuring Sunny and Varun perched atop a tank along with the production team—Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, Shiv Chanana, Binoy Gandhi, and director Anurag Singh.
Described as a saga of action, legacy, and patriotism, Border 2 is set against the backdrop of the 1999 Kargil War, where Indian forces reclaimed infiltrated territories along the Line of Control.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Nidhi Dutta, with co-producers Shiv Chanana and Binoy Gandhi, and helmed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 promises to be a tribute to valor and sacrifice.Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series and JP Dutta's J.P. Films, the movie is slated for a grand theatrical release on January 23, 2026.

Indian classical arts spark cross-cultural empathy in European schools

Sohini Roychowdhury, along with Indro Roychowdhury and Sanjib Pal, recently conducted performances and interactive sessions in Austria and Germany, using Indian classical arts to foster empathy and cultural sensitivity among children and young adults. Through Bharatanatyam, sitar music, and storytelling based on Indian epics, they communicated timeless values, reimagining the Navarasas for a new generation. 'Dance has a magical combination of elements that helps us become more in tune with our emotions and how we express them,' says dance exponent Sohini Roychowdhury, summing up the mission that recently took her across schools and universities in Austria and Germany. The dancer conducted a series of performances and interactive sessions designed to foster empathy and cultural sensitivity among children and young adults through the transformative power of Indian classical arts. Joining her were sitar player Indro Roychowdhury and tabla player Sanjib Pal, whose soulful renditions created an immersive atmosphere of curiosity, wonder, and emotional connection. The experience was far more than a performance — it became a deeply engaging cultural exchange. Children from ages 6 to 18, including those with special needs, responded with enthusiasm, particularly during the interactive segments. Sohini led the young audience through expressive Bharatanatyam mudras and movements in a session themed around 'Shiva the Kind.' The performances culminated in a participatory musical segment where Indro explained the therapeutic qualities of Ragas, while children joined in singing and rhythm. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Moments like Sohini's Thillana performance and Indro's rendition of Ahir-Bhairav — evoking imagery of Krishna, spring, and joy — brought India's classical traditions vividly to life. Through dance, music, and storytelling centered on the Rasas and epics like the Shiva and Vishnu Puranas, the sessions communicated timeless values in a universally accessible form. As the ghungroos chimed and the sitar rang through Alpine classrooms, the spirit of India echoed in young hearts. The Navarasa — traditionally the nine emotions of classical art — was reimagined for a new generation as empathy, peace, kindness, love, oneness, understanding, connection, healing and forgiveness.

'You take silly point!': Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara relive friendly fielding fights at book launch

Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma (Getty Images) At the launch of The Diary of a Cricketer's Wife, penned by Puja Pujara, Indian cricket stars Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara brought the house down with their playful banter and behind-the-scenes stories from their time on the field. Reminiscing about their playing days, Rohit revealed a humorous tussle the two often had — not over runs or wickets, but over who would be stuck at fielding positions like short leg and silly point. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "We fight amongst each other, who will take the short leg, who will take the silly point," Rohit chuckled. "and Pujji [Pujara] used to be like 'I'm No.3, so I need to rest more than you'. So you take that because I used to bat at No.5 and 6. And then we decided among us ..." Interrupting with a smile, Pujara added, "But it turned around later when he started opening in Tests. Then he said, 'Now I'm the opener, so you go stand at short leg!' I had no answer — I just went." Poll Should cricketers be more open about their humorous experiences? Yes, definitely! No, keep it serious The duo also shared their early memories of playing for Indian Oil in the Times Shield. "We had a strong batting line-up," Pujara recalled. "In one game, we scored over 800 runs.

WATCH: Another amusing tale came from a 2012 India A tour in Trinidad and Tobago, when Pujara got mobbed late at night while searching for vegetarian food. Rohit grinned, "Moral of the story — we told him not to go out after 9pm. But he's stubborn." Rohit also lauded Pujara for playing over 100 Tests after suffering ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries to both his knees right at the start of his career. Gautam Gambhir sends stern message after Bengaluru tragedy Pujara last played a Test in June 2023, having scored 7,195 runs in 103 matches at an average of 43.60 — but the camaraderie with Rohit remains timeless.

Semma crowned New York's No. 1 restaurant of 2025 by the New York Times

In a major milestone for Indian cuisine, Semma, a popular South Indian restaurant in New York, has been named the No. 1 restaurant in New York City for 2025 by The New York Times. Known for its bold flavours and authentic South Indian dishes, Semma has proudly taken the top spot on the paper's prestigious list of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York. This marks a historic moment not only for Semma but also for South Indian food, which has often been underrepresented in fine dining across the United States. A New Format, A New Champion In 2025, The New York Times changed its ranking format. Unlike previous years when all 100 restaurants were ranked in order, this time only the top 10 received a numbered position, with Semma leading the list at No. 1. Other top restaurants that followed Semma in this year's ranking include Atomix, Le Bernardin, Kabab, Ha's Snack Bar, King, Penny, Sushi Sho, Szechuan Mountain House, and Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi. In 2024, Semma had already gained recognition by ranking 7th, and was one of only four Indian restaurants to be featured on the list. Celebrating the Soul of South Indian Cuisine Semma is not just any Indian restaurant—it is a restaurant that proudly showcases the flavours of South India in a bold and authentic way. Headed by Chef Vijay Kumar, who hails from Tamil Nadu, Semma offers a deeply personal and traditional menu that highlights ingredients like coconut, curry leaves, and dry red chillies. The restaurant has become known for its signature dosa, which is fermented to perfection, crisped with ghee, and served with a side of fiery gunpowder spice. Many food critics call it the best dosa in New York. In a heartfelt Instagram post following the announcement, Semma shared: "Semma isn't just about Indian food, it's about what happens when a cuisine speaks in its own voice—untranslated and unafraid. This win is for every chef, every cuisine that's ever been overlooked." About Semma – The Star of South Indian Food in NYC Located in Greenwich Village, Semma is part of the Unapologetic Foods group, which is known for celebrating bold regional Indian cuisine. Semma's focus is on the traditional recipes of Tamil Nadu and other southern states, presented without dilution or westernisation. Since opening its doors, Semma has received critical praise for maintaining its originality and delivering high-quality, flavour-rich food. Chef Vijay Kumar continues to lead the kitchen with passion and precision, keeping the essence of home-style South Indian cooking alive in the heart of New York City. Michelin-Starred Excellence Semma is currently the only Indian restaurant in New York with a Michelin star, and it has proudly held this honour for three years in a row. Despite the competition from many high-end restaurants in the city, Semma stands out for both its culinary vision and cultural representation. Other Indian restaurants like Dhamaka, also part of Unapologetic Foods, are pushing boundaries too—but Semma remains the most celebrated, especially after its recent top ranking. Semma's rise to the top of New York's food scene is a proud moment for lovers of South Indian food and Indian cuisine as a whole. It proves that authentic regional cooking can not only hold its own in the fine-dining world but also lead it. For the latest and more interesting financial news, keep reading Indiatimes Worth.
