Ahan and Suniel Shetty
Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh’s Border 2 has hit the theatres. The film is a spiritual sequel to the 1997 film Border, which starred Suniel Shetty in a pivotal role. The sequel stars his son Ahan, and the father-son duo were seen promoting the film. Ahead of the release, Suniel Shetty described how the story has evolved into something deeply meaningful for him over the years.
The actor posted a reel on Instagram featuring scenes from both Border and Border 2, accompanied by the song Mitti Ke Bete. In his heartfelt message, Suniel wrote, “Border 2 releases today. My son, today I must tell you that, for me, Border was never just a film I acted in. It became a responsibility I carried long after the cameras stopped rolling. Years later, watching you wear the uniform brings it full circle—not as nostalgia, but as a reminder. Of discipline. Sacrifice. Silence. Courage.”
