New Delhi: The first poster of the much-awaited action war drama Border 2 was revealed on Friday (August 15), coinciding with India’s 79th Independence Day celebrations. The big reveal was made through Sunny Deol’s official Instagram account. The Gadar actor shared an intense glimpse of his character alongside a major update on the film’s release schedule.
In the striking visual, an enraged Sunny Deol is seen in full soldier attire, gripping a bazooka and aiming at unseen enemies. His expression captures the grit and ferocity of battle, as soldiers in the background wave the Indian tricolour.
The imagery seems to draw inspiration from an iconic photograph taken after the 1999 Kargil War, where soldiers proudly posed with the national flag. Behind them, gunfire blazes, setting the tone for the film’s high-stakes action.

Border 2 will now hit cinemas a day earlier, on January 22, 2026. It was originally slated for January 23. Sharing the update, Sunny Deol wrote, “Hindustan ke liye ladenge… phir ek baar (We will fight for India, once again)! #Border2 hits theatres on Jan 22, 2026.” The post was accompanied by dramatic background music, heightening the anticipation.
Directed by Anurag Singh, the sequel boasts a star-studded cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Medha Rana, Mona Singh, and Sonam Bajwa, alongside Sunny in the lead. The project is backed by producers Bhushan Kumar and JP Dutta, the latter having written, produced, and directed the original Border in 1997. That film was set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. It depicted the Battle of Longewala and went on to become one of the year’s top-grossing blockbusters, earning Rs 66 crore at the box office.
Despite earlier speculation about Diljit Dosanjh’s removal from the sequel due to his association with a Pakistani actress in another project, the rumours have been put to rest. The singer-actor remains part of the ensemble, confirmed through a behind-the-scenes video he shared from the set. Reports suggest that the ban was lifted for Border 2 following intervention from T-Series.
However, Suniel Shetty, who played a pivotal role in the 1997 original, will not be returning. Instead, his son Ahan Shetty will be making his mark in the sequel. Suniel has expressed pride in seeing his son join the legacy of a film so closely tied to his career.
