Production
Development
Border 2 was officially announced by T-Series and J.P. Dutta on 7 October 2024. Sunny Deol was confirmed as the lead actor, but the makers did not share details about the other characters.[6]
Casting
Like Border (1997), Sunny Deol was cast as the lead actor. After the success of Gadar 2, Sunny Deol shared that J.P. Dutta had planned Border 2 in 2015, but since his films at that time were not doing well, the project was dropped. He said he was cautious about returning because the original characters were very loved, and the story should do justice to them. After Gadar 2 became a blockbuster, preparations for Border 2 began again, and he was offered the film, which he agreed to do.
The makers had first approached Ayushmann Khurrana for a supporting role, but later it was reported that he would not be part of the film. It is unclear whether he rejected the role or the makers decided to drop him.[7]
