Watch the Teaser of ‘Border 2’:
According to the report, “Anurag and producer-writer Nidhi Dutta felt bringing the herpic characters from the 1997 war drama would make it a memorable experience. So they incorporated this segment. The characters from the old and the new films will cross paths at an event before the 1971 war begins. It’s a great idea as it not only brings the father-son duo of Suniel and Ahan on screen, but also harks back the much loved movie.”

The report further added that the shooting for the sequence was planned in Pune earlier this year, but it didn’t happen due to the unavailability of dates and other issues. The source revealed, “In November, Akshaye and Sudesh filmed their portions in Mumbai.” It added that Suniel Shetty’s scenes were shot against a green screen with special effects, and all three actors will be de-aged to match their original Border avatars.” ‘Border 2’ Teaser Launch: Sunny Deol Makes First Public Appearance After Dharmendra’s Demise, Gets Teary-Eyed at Event (Watch Video).
