Varun Dhawan was trolled by a section of netizens after the trailer of Border 2 was released. However, the film’s producer Bhushan Kumar and director Anurag Singh recently came out in support of the actor. In their latest comments post the release of Border 2, Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Singh have only good things to say about Varun Dhawan. While Kumar calls him a brilliant actor, Anurag has appreciated Dhawan’s range and how easily he switches between genres. They even reveal what made them see Col. Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya in Varun Dhawan.

“I think people forget that he’s the same actor who’s done Badlapur after doing something like Student of the Year. I was stunned by his ability to switch. If I was thinking of onboarding Varun, I’d be going to the same Varun who could show that kind of range. I love his work in October, and I wanted that Varun in Border 2. He’s a damn good actor, and he’s got his own capability. When he came on sets, he started hitting the notes almost instantly. People should not forget his range,” said Anurag Singh.

About Border 2

Directed and co-written by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is a standalone sequel to Border, which was directed by J.P. Dutta and remains one of the most iconic war films in Hindi cinema. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, the film is backed by T-Series Films and J.P. Films.

Set again against the backdrop of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, Border 2 expands the scale of the original film. Unlike its predecessor, which focused primarily on the Indian Army, the latest film showed a multi-front war narrative, combining operations of the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy. At the centre of it all is Sunny Deol’s Lt Col Fateh Singh Kaler, a commanding officer, mentor, and emotional anchor to a group of younger soldiers played by Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. The film also features Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana in pivotal roles.
