Border 2’s box office blitz continues post its January 23 premiere, spotlighting Ahan Shetty’s breakout as a steadfast Navy officer. After Tadap’s 2021 bow, a four-year silence challenged the rising star’s return amid A-listers. Now, he’s spilling on conquering comeback fears.
The set buzz with Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh sparked initial nerves, Ahan confessed. Their backing transformed unease into ease, complemented by family solidarity during downtime. No looking back, only ahead.
He tuned out distractions, chasing excellence with full sincerity. Director’s cues were gospel; post-pack-up dinners with Varun were therapy for anxiety.
The character’s core—rigid discipline, poised gait, resolute expressions—required rigorous training to reflect a serviceman’s selfless valor.
Dismissing Border vs. Border 2 debates, Ahan pointed to divergent periods, casts, and cinematic evolutions from raw blasts to sleek effects. On-set yarns from Sunny and dad Suniel bridged past and present. Border 2’s momentum underscores Ahan’s triumphant re-entry.
