India’s cinephiles are on edge as ‘Border 2’ nears its January 23 debut. Pre-release bookings at Rs 1.5 crore underscore the sequel’s pull, echoing the first film’s monumental impact.
Amid promotions, Suniel Shetty channeled his hopes at the ancient Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. The actor, returning from the original ‘Border’, prayed fervently for ‘Border 2’s’ victory—above all, for son Ahan’s career launch. With tilak gleaming, he lingered in worship, hands clasped in surrender to Baba Mahakal.
To gathered media, he confided, ‘I seek family well-being foremost from God. But ‘Border 2′, backed by Nidhi Dutta like my kin, demands special pleas. May it win hearts, for its success fuels livelihoods across the board.’
This Rs 150-200 crore spectacle dives into border warfare heroism. Five songs are live: Sonu Nigam’s ‘Mitti Ke Bete’ poignantly honors fallen heroes and grieving kin, while ‘Sandesh Aate Hain’ gets a quartet-sung revival, sparking viral frenzy.
The 1997 ‘Border’ rewrote history with its patriotic fervor and tear-jerking narrative. Can the sequel conquer anew? Shetty’s temple quest captures the profound faith fueling this ambitious project.
