Varun Dhawan is showering praise on his Border 2 co-star, Diljit Dosanjh, emphasizing the dedication and hard work the actor has put into the upcoming war epic. The film, a sequel to the 1997 hit Border, is directed by Anurag Singh and features a star-studded cast, including Sunny Deol and Ahan Shetty.

"Border 2 is more than a film, it's an emotion for every Indian," says producer Bhushan Kumar. The film aims to honor the courage and spirit of Indian soldiers, presenting a tale of patriotism, valor, and sacrifice. The teaser for Border 2 was revealed on Vijay Diwas, commemorating India's victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The release of the teaser served as a tribute to the Indian Army's historical triumph.

Varun Dhawan's admiration for Diljit Dosanjh highlights the camaraderie on set and the collective effort to deliver a compelling cinematic experience. While specific details of Dosanjh's role remain under wraps, Dhawan's statement suggests a performance fueled by passion and commitment. Behind-the-scenes footage has shown Dosanjh alongside Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty, further building anticipation.

Border 2 has Sunny Deol reprising his role. The new cast additions, including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, are seen guarding India's borders across land, air, and sea. The film also stars Sonam Bajwa, Mona Singh, Medha Rana and Anya Singh.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J. P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta. The film's tagline, "Hindustan ke liye ladenge... phir ek baar!" (We will fight for India… once again!), evokes a strong sense of patriotism.

Border 2 is slated to hit theaters on January 23, 2026, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend.
