New Delhi: In an exciting development for fans of patriotic cinema, actor Sunny Deol has officially welcomed singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh into the cast of the highly anticipated war film Border 2. This announcement adds to the growing buzz surrounding the sequel to the 1997 cult classic Border. Sunny Deol took to Instagram on Friday to unveil an introductory video featuring Diljit Dosanjh.
The clip, enhanced with the iconic song Sandese Aate Hai by Sonu Nigam, includes a voiceover by Dosanjh: "Is desh ki taraf uthne wali har nazar jhukh jati hai khauf se, in sarhado par jab guru ke baaz paera dete hain". In a related development, actor Varun Dhawan was also recently announced as a lead in the film by Sunny Deol. This move follows the celebration of the 27th anniversary of the original Border when the makers revealed their plans for a sequel.
Sunny Deol's announcement video for Border 2 highlights the film's nostalgic connection to its predecessor. Deol stated, "27 saal pehle ek fauji ne vada kiya tha ki vo vapas aayega. Ussi vaade ko poora karne, hindustan ki mitti ko apna salaam kehne, aa raha hai" (Twenty-seven years ago, a soldier made a promise that he would return. To fulfill that promise, to salute the soil of India, he is coming).
