Akshaye Khanna to feature in Border 2?

However, Akshaye will not be seen in Border 2. The person who is being compared to the veteran is a different actor. Coincidentally, they look quite similar. Amid Dhurandhar’s roaring success, it is natural for his fans to anticipate his return to the Border franchise, which has no direct connection to J P Dutta’s iconic war film based on the Battle of Longewala. The characters in the spiritual sequel are different.

Sunny Deol gets emotional at Ghar Kab Aaoge song launch

At the launch of Ghar Kab Aaoge in Tanot, Sunny addressed BSF jawans, media and fans. The actor said, “Main aapke parivar ka hissa hi hoon, jabse maine Border ki hai. Maine Border ki kyunki jab maine papa ki film Haqeeqat dekhi thi, wo mujhe bohot pyari lagi thi aur main tab bohot chhota tha. Jab main actor bana, maine tay kiya man bhi papa jaisi film karunga.”(Translation: I have been a part of your family ever since I did Border..I did Border because when I watched my father’s film Haqeeqat, I loved it deeply and I was very young at the time. When I became an actor, I decided that I too would do a film like my father.)He added, “JP Dutta sahab ke saath maine baat ki aur hum dono ne decide kiya ki hum Longewala waale subject banayenge, jo bohot hi pyara hai. Jo aap sab ke dilon me basa hua hai. Aur jab bhi main jahaan bhi jata hoon, kitne fauji jab bhi milte hain mujhe, yahi kehte hain mujhe ki humne aap ki picture dekhne ke baad tay kiya ki hum bhi fauj me jayenge.” (Translation: I spoke to JP Dutta sir, and we both decided to make a film on the Longewala subject, which is very dear and lives in all your hearts. Wherever I go, many soldiers tell me that after watching my film, they decided to join the army.)Border 2 is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series, in association with J.P. Dutta’s J.P. Films. The war film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and directed by Anurag Singh. Co-starring Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, Medha Rana and others, it releases on January 23.
