The film is a sequel to the 1997 war classic ‘Border’ and reportedly draws inspiration from the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan. While the original ‘Border’ depicted the Battle of Longewala, this sequel aims to honour the heroism of Indian soldiers during the Kargil conflict when Pakistani troops infiltrated Indian territory along the Line of Control in the Kargil district.
Meanwhile Varun is keeping busy with another exciting project. He will also be seen in David Dhawan’s ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ co-starring Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur. It is going to release on 5th June 2026. The title draws inspiration from the famous song ‘Hai Jawani Toh Pyaar Hona Hai’ from Dhawan’s hit film ‘Biwi No.1’.
Reportedly, this upcoming film blends humour and romance telling the story of a young man who faces repeated heartbreaks but eventually finds unexpected help from a divine source.
