Sandese Aate Hai 2.0: Arijit Singh And Sonu Nigam To Rekindle Patriotic Magic In Border 2
New Delhi:
After almost three decades, the cult classic war film Border is making a comeback with a second instalment. Just like the original, the upcoming film will also feature Sunny Deol. Directed by JP Dutta, Border 2 introduces new cast members, including Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty.
The sequel will also feature Sandese Aate Hai 2.0 – a recreated version of the iconic 1997 song that moved an entire generation. And here is the best part – the new version will have vocals by two of India's biggest artists, Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh.
The original song was sung by Roop Kumar Rathod and Sonu Nigam, with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar and music by Anu Malik.
According to Pinkvilla, producers Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta have acquired the rights to Sandese Aate Hai for a record-breaking sum.
A source, close to the development, told the publication, ' Sandese Aate Hai is the soul of Border, and the producer has left no stone unturned to get the rights for a record sum. It's among the highest price that a producer has spent to recreate a melody, but Bhushan knows the importance of Sandese Aate Hai in Border, and is confident that the patriotic song will reap rich dividends in the long run.'
The insider further revealed that Sandese Aate Hai 2.0 highlights the emotional and physical hardships faced by the Indian Armed Forces.
'The work on Sandese Aate Hai 2.0 has been going on for the longest time and the makers have cracked a version that justifies the legacy of the first part. While the original song was sung by Sonu Nigam and Roop Kumar Rathod, Sandese Aate Hai 2.0 will be sung by Sonu Nigam with Arijit Singh. This is clearly being positioned as the biggest song of Indian Cinema. The song will be picturized on Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh among others,' the source added.
Border 2 will hit the cinema screens on January 23, 2026.

4 Indian Cricketers Who Are Playing In MLC 2025: Unmukt Chand, Agni Chopra And...
3 / 8 Agni Chopra, who holds the record of being the first cricketer to hit four tons in his first four Ranji Trophy matches while playing for Mizoram, is currently representing MI New York (MINY) in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season. Agni, son of Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who played domestic cricket in India as recently as January 2025, was allowed to participate in MLC 2025 for MI New York due to a special reason. Interestingly, Agni is not an Indian passport holder despite being Indian. Chopra holds a USA citizenship due to his birth in Detroit. His dream to play in America came true as the BCCI recently amended their policy which stated that players with Indian passports would only be allowed to compete in the domestic tournaments. Earlier, overseas cricketers (even entire teams, such as those in the Duleep Trophy) had played domestic cricket in India, but they will no longer be allowed to do so.

Yuvraj Singh with his father Yograj Singh (Pic credit: Yuvi's post) On the occasion of Father's Day , former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh took to social media to share a deeply emotional tribute to his father, Yograj Singh , crediting him for shaping his resilience and indomitable spirit. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Posting an Instagram Story with a heartfelt note, Yuvraj wrote: "Happy Father's Day baapu! The one who taught me that the only finish line worth crossing is the one you reach by never giving up! Lots of love," tagging his father's handle, @yograjofficial. Yograj Singh, a former India cricketer and an actor, is remembered for his strict, disciplinarian parenting — often described by Yuvraj as both demanding and defining. The lessons of hard work, mental toughness, and the refusal to quit clearly influenced Yuvraj's remarkable journey through Indian cricket , from a flamboyant match-winner to a cancer survivor who made an inspiring comeback. One of India's greatest limited-overs match-winners, Yuvraj played 402 international matches between 2000 and 2017, amassing over 11,000 runs. He was central to India's historic 2011 World Cup win, earning the Player of the Tournament award for his all-round brilliance - 362 runs and 15 wickets. He also etched his name in history with six sixes in an over during the 2007 T20 World Cup. Kuldeep Yadav hints at spin-friendly wicket ahead of England Test series While Yuvraj has often spoken about the tough love he received from his father, this public message reflected a softer, more thankful side of that bond — one built on grit, legacy, and enduring love.
