Border 2 poster pays homage to iconic Sunny Deol scene from first film. See here
On the occasion of Independence Day, T-Series released a poster of their upcoming film Border 2, which is a sequel to the 1997 JP Dutta directorial Border. The poster features two distinct elements designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia in fans. The first thing that stands out in the poster is a screaming Sunny Deol, missile launcher on his shoulder, charging ahead. This moment is a clear homage to his iconic scene in Border, where he stormed towards the enemy with the same weapon, a sequence that has since achieved cult-classic status. The second element fans will notice is the background track, 'Hindustan Meri Jaan,' a reimagined version of the original song from the first film, performed by Shankar Mahadevan and Sonali Rathod. While the lyrics were originally penned by Javed Akhtar, the updated composition now carries the credits of Anu Malik and Mithoon. A post shared by tseriesfilms (@tseriesfilms) ALSO READ: Salman Khan's director was shot by gangsters, escaped when bullet hit Mother Mary statue behind him: 'He demanded Rs 1.5 crore' The poster serves as a positive sign that Border is back on track, especially since controversies surrounding one of its cast members had briefly cast doubt on the project. Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh had landed in trouble over his film Sardaarji 3, after casting Pakistani actor Hania Amir at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan were escalating. The move sparked severe backlash from fans, and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) even imposed a ban on Diljit following his announcement that the film would be released internationally. However, after repeated requests from T-Series, the ban was lifted for Border 2, though with the condition that Diljit would not collaborate with them on future projects. Sunny Deol recently gave some valuable insights into the setting of Border 2 and confirmed that it was going to maintain the tone of the original. While talking to Pinkvilla, Sunny reflected on doing Gadar 2 and admitted that staying true to what worked in the past was the secret behind the success of the film. He said, 'The good thing about Gadar 2 is that we stuck to the same genre, the same characters. We didn't try to be too smart about it or modernise the story in any way. Even Border 2 – it's been so long since the first film. But the responsibility is huge because everywhere I go, I meet someone who says that they joined the Army after watching the first Border.' Border 2 has been directed by Kesari fame Anurag Singh, and the cast of the film includes Sunny, Diljit, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. The movie will release in theatres on January 22.
