‘Sandese Aate Hai 2.0’ to Be Unveiled at Longewala!

While the teaser continues to dominate conversations, producer Bhushan Kumar revealed a major musical highlight from the film’s album- a refreshed version of the iconic ‘Sandese Aate Hai’. The song, ‘Sandese Aate Hai 2.0’, will be launched at a special event designed to revive memories of the original Border.

Bhushan Kumar shared, “This time, for ‘Sandese Aate Hai’, we have added other singers also. We are going to launch that song on January 2 at Longewala with the armed forces as it's a very, very special song. We have tried our best to make sure that it has the same feel as the original song and yet, it has the sound of today.”

A Symbolic Return to Longewala

The choice of Longewala holds deep historical and cinematic significance. The original Border (1997) was based on the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, making the song’s launch at the same location a deeply symbolic tribute to India’s armed forces and the legacy of the film.

Honouring J.P. Dutta’s Legacy

Opening the event, Bhushan Kumar acknowledged the roots of the franchise, saying, “The credit for the film goes to J P Dutta sir. Nidhi approached me and expressed the desire to make Border 2. Obviously, the emotion of the whole world is connected with Border. Hence, we collectively decided at our studio that we should make this film.”

Sunny Deol: The Soul of Border 2

Bhushan was unequivocal about Sunny Deol’s importance to the sequel. “Without Sunny sir, it is impossible to make Border 2. A big thank you to him for working so hard and devoting so much time. I have no words,” he said, drawing applause from the audience. 

Praise for the Cast and Crew

Visibly emotional, Bhushan added, “I am getting very nervous right now as the film is very emotional for us. Anurag, Varun, Ahan and everyone else have done a very good job. Whenever I talk to Varun’s father (David Dhawan), I tell him, ‘Varun has done a great job’. He hasn’t given a performance like this ever.”
