Good news for Sunny Deol’s fans! After the roaring success of Border and Border 2, the franchise is all set for its next instalment, Border 2. Producer Bhushan Kumar has recently confirmed that Border 3 has been greenlit and will be directed by Border 2’s Anurag Singh.
In a recent chat with Hindustan Times, Bhushan Kumar spoke about a separate film he was making with Anurag. “We are doing a joint venture (a different film) with his company and my company. He’ll be directing, and it will be something new. Border 3 will happen in due course,” said Bhushan.
The producer then confirmed that Border 3 has been greenlit. “Obviously, it is such a big franchise,” said Bhushan, “Anurag has worked so hard to rebuild it. If you bring something back after
almost 30 years and it is getting so much love, we will definitely take it forward.”
Meanwhile, Border 2 has been earning huge at the box office. Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol in the lead, alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty. The film is backed by T-Series and JP Films, continuing the legacy of the 1997 classic Border. The film also opened to largely positive reviews. News18 Showsha gave the film 4/5 stars.
Part of our review read, “The emotional core is where Border 2 scores its biggest win. The camaraderie between the younger actors feels easy and natural. It doesn’t feel written for effect. Sunny Deol, especially, is a pleasant surprise in quieter moments. You expect the rage and thunder, but watching him joke, smile, and even tease his men gives the character warmth. When the big speeches finally come, they don’t feel hollow, they feel earned.”
“That said, the film does test your patience at times. It’s long, and while it mostly keeps you invested, there are stretches where you feel the runtime. Some romantic bits linger longer than needed, and a few war sequences could’ve been sharper. The VFX is also uneven. While many action moments work well, certain naval shots don’t look as convincing as the emotion demands. Thankfully, the film isn’t relying only on spectacle; its strength lies in feeling,” the review also mentioned.
