Now, according to the latest reports, the actor is going to play the role of Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya in the same film. For the unversed, the late Paramveer Chakra Awardee played a key role in the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

Speaking about Border 2, it is touted to be the biggest war film in India, and also features Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and others in major roles. It will be directed by Anurag Singh, who has previously helmed films like Kesari and Punjab 1984. If well-made, Border 2 also has the potential to become a 1000 crore film!
Varun Dhawan has given only a few good performances like Badlapur and October. In other films, he has been mostly considered cringe with an image of a comedy actor. However, there’s no denying that Varun has talent. But will people accept him in a real-life hero’s role in Border 2? That remains a question.
