Sunny Deol is locked, loaded, and ready for war in the explosive first look of Border 2. Unveiled on India’s 79th Independence Day, the poster shows Deol in full Army gear, holding a bazooka and roaring into battle. The fiery image quickly ignited excitement among fans. “Hindustan ke liye ladenge… phir ek baar,” Sunny wrote while sharing the poster on Instagram.
The poster shows soldiers waving the Indian tricolour in the heat of battle, echoing the iconic post-Kargil War photo of Indian troops. Gunfire blazes in the background as Deol leads the charge, bringing back the patriotic intensity fans loved in the original Border. Background music in the teaser added to the goosebumps moment for fans, with many calling it “epic” and “another blockbuster in the making.”
Originally set for January 23, Border 2 will now hit theatres a day earlier — on January 22, 2026 — to take full advantage of the Republic Day weekend. The change aims to maximize box office performance with a longer holiday window.
Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 boasts a powerful ensemble cast. Alongside Sunny Deol, the film features Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Medha Rana, and Sonam Bajwa. It is produced by Bhushan Kumar and JP Dutta, the creator of the original.

The original film made in 1997 was directed by JP Dutta, and is based on the Battle of Longewala (1971). Boder became one of the biggest hits of its time.

The original featured an ensemble cast including Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, and Akshaye Khanna.
