Mid-day had recently reported that Varun Dhawan was rumoured to be joining Sunny Deol in Border 2. Varun has himself now confirmed his casting in the sequel to JP Dutta’s 1997 blockbuster. The actor shared a teaser on Friday, confirming that he is part of the much-anticipated movie. In a long post alongside the teaser, Varun wrote a long note reminiscing about watching Border in Chandan cinema when he was a kid, and the film's impact on him.

"I was just a kid in class four when I went to Chandan cinema and saw Border. And it made such a big impact. I still remember the sense of national pride we all felt in the hall. I began looking up to our armed forces and to this day, I salute how they protect us and keep us safe be it on our borders or during natural calamities.
