'Sandese aate hain humein tadapate hain…to chithi aati hai, wo poochhe jaate hain…ki ghar kab aaoge.' 27 years have passed, yet this is a song that still fills every Indian with emotions. As soon as Sunny Deol announced the film 'Border 2' on Thursday morning, 13 June, old memories were refreshed once again. 'Border', directed by JP Dutta in 1997, proved to be a blockbuster. Made in a budget of 10 crores, this film had a net collection of Rs 65.57 crores. Now 'Border 2' is coming and the makers are preparing to repeat the same success. This time the film is being directed by 'Kesari' fame Anurag Singh. While the command of making has been taken over by JP Dutta's daughter Nidhi Dutta. After the super success of 'Gadar 2', discussions about 'Border 2' had intensified. As a film, 'Gadar 2' may have been weak, but it stirred up old memories flowing in the veins of the country, as a result the film became a blockbuster. Now a similar exercise is being done for 'Border 2'.

Nidhi Dutta wants to make 'Border 2' the biggest war film
JP Dutta's daughter Nidhi Dutta now handles her father's entire film production business. She has been working on the script of 'Border 2' for a long time. Nidhi wants to make this sequel a masterpiece. This is justified too, because 'Border' released in 1997 is an iconic film. In such a situation, Nidhi is planning to make the country's biggest war film as a sequel. For this, she has been doing research for more than two years.
Story of 'Border 2'
'Border', released in 1997, was based on the historical background of the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. The story of 'Border 2' will also be based on the 1971 war. But it will be presented from a new perspective. Nidhi Dutta is preparing to show the efforts of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force in a new form and in high octane. One of the reasons behind the film taking more time to prepare is that this time the stories of war heroes and martyrs will also be added to the story, for which a lot of research was needed.
'Border 2' will be shot in real locations
To keep the story of 'Border 2' close to real life and make it authentic, it will be shot at real locations. Authentic names of the 1971 war will be used in the film. Necessary permission has also been taken from the Ministry of Defense for this. VFX will also be used in the film according to today's time. But the makers are trying to shoot it in real life as much as possible.
