Actor Sunny Deol got emotional while speaking at the song launch event for his upcoming film Border 2 in Jaisalmer. As he reflected on his experience shooting Border, he revealed that his father Dharmendra's 1964 film Haqeeqat was the inspiration behind his decision to create a film on a similar subject. Haqeeqat, a classic war drama, is based on the 1962 Sino-Indian War and follows a small platoon of soldiers in Ladakh. Sunny Deol's emotional moment was a poignant tribute to his late father, who passed away on November 24. He expressed his gratitude to be part of the film and credited his father's work for sparking his passion for acting. Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh and starring an ensemble cast including Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, is set to release on January 23, 2026. The film is a sequel to the 1997 classic and is produced by T-Series and JP Dutta's J P Films.
