Actor Sunny Deol has finally begun shooting ‘Border 2’. The 67-year-old on Tuesday shared a picture from the sets of the film in Jhansi. The photo featured him posing alongside actor Varun Dhawan, who is also playing a soldier in the film.
The director of ‘Border 2’, Anurag Singh, producers Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta and co-producers Shiv Chanana and Binoy Gandhi were also seen posing with Deol in the photo.
‘Border 2’ is the sequel to the 1997 hit patriotic war drama, which was directed by JP Dutta. Apart from Dhawan, Deol is also joined by Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh in what has been touted as the biggest war drama India has ever produced.
While not much about Deol’s character is out yet, it will be interesting to see how he manages to take the Border franchise ahead, much like how he did with the ‘Gadar’ franchise.
The film’s team is currently shooting on an elaborate set created in the rugged cantonment of Jhansi, Madhya Pradesh. While Dhawan and Deol have started to shoot their bit, Dosanjh is yet to join the team.
‘Border 2’ aims to narrate the stories of the valour and relentless sacrifice by our armed forces. While the makers are being careful about not ruining the legacy that the first film created, they are also trying to make it look grander than ever.
‘Border 2’ is slated to hit the screens as the big Republic Day release on January 23 next year.
