Border 2: Why did makers change lyrics of ‘Sandese Aate Hain’? Bhushan Kumar opens up

Producer and music mogul Bhushan Kumar has finally revealed the reason why Border 2 has a different version of the iconic song ‘Sandese Aate Hain’.

He attended a special event for the film on Tuesday in the city, and said that ‘Border 2’ caters to a different battle within the context of the India–Pakistan war in 1971.

“This was already in our mind that we have to keep ‘Sandese Aate Hain’ in the film, and the lyrics of the song have been changed as per the situation because the story that we are showing is not the remake of ‘Border’. The story is set against the backdrop of the 1971 war. It’s a different battle from the war, and tells other soldiers' story. We have told the stories of their lives. The lyrics were based on that so that's why we got the lyrics from Manoj Muntashir,” said Kumar.

Sequel to J. P. Dutta’s 1997 blockbuster ‘Border’, ‘Border 2’ aims to revisit the tone and military focus that made the original film a cultural landmark.
