Sunny Deol’s Border, which was released in 1997, turned out to be a massive hit among the audience. Now, the actor is once again set to make a comeback as Major Kuldeep Singh Chanduri on the big screens. Back in 2023, it was reported that Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta were teaming up for the sequel. Adding an interesting twist to the plot, Ayushmann Khurrana will also be joining the cast of the film. 

According to a report by Pinkvilla, producers Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta are targeting a Republic Day 2026 premiere for Border 2. Further, the movie is helmed by director Anurag Singh. “Border 2 is targeting to hit the big screen on Friday, January 23, 2026 – leading to the Republic Day holiday on Monday, January 26, 2026. Being a film celebrating the bravery of Indian Armed Forces, the makers feel that there is no better date than Republic Day for the arrival of this Sunny Deol and Ayushmann Khurrana film,” revealed a source close to the development.

The source revealed that Border 2 is envisioned to become the most monumental war film in Indian cinema history, with the creators committed to preserving the essence of the original. They have invested over a year in crafting the screenplay, striving to fulfil the anticipation of audiences.

“Border 2 has been in the writing stage for over a year now, and the team has cracked a script that stands to the expectations that people would have from a sequel to a mammoth all-time blockbuster like Border. Sunny Deol and Ayushmann Khurrana are very excited to embark on this journey by the end of this year,” the source added.

The report also claimed that the T-series and JP Dutta Films are putting their all into getting the best technical team for Border 2. “A film of this canvas requires massive pre-production, and the idea is to get some of the top talents from across the globe on board Border 2. All the stakeholders are well versed in the fact that Border is not just a film but an emotion and will be going all out to deliver an honest film to the audiences. It’s going to be the Biggest War Film of India,” the source added.
