Diljit Dosanjh Takes to the Skies in ‘Border 2’ First Look
T-Series and JP Films have unveiled the first look of Diljit Dosanjh from “Border 2,” revealing the film will expand its scope to include the Indian Air Force alongside ground forces.
The poster shows Dosanjh in a fighter jet cockpit, portraying an Indian Air Force officer. The image marks a significant expansion of the franchise’s narrative scope, signaling that aerial combat will feature prominently alongside traditional battlefield sequences.
Set in 1971, the original “Border” (1997) was headlined by Sunny Deol, and took place along the border region of Longewala, where a small battalion of Indian soldiers fought a large Pakistani strike force. It is considered a landmark Indian war film.
“Border 2” is directed by Anurag Singh who previously helmed Akshay Kumar-starring “Kesari” (2019), based on the Battle of Saragarhi in which an army of 21 Sikhs fought against 10,000 Afghans in 1897.
The film reunites Dosanjh with Singh, with whom he has collaborated on multiple successful Punjabi-language films including “Jatt & Juliet” (2012), “Jatt & Juliet 2” (2013), “Disco Singh” (2014), “Punjab 1984” (2014), and “Super Singh” (2017). The film stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Medha Rana, Mona Singh and Sonam Bajwa.
The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta under the T-Series and JP Films banners. Presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with J.P. Dutta’s J.P. Films, the production team includes Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta.
The release is strategically scheduled for Jan. 23, 2026, positioning the patriotic actioner for the Republic Day weekend in India, a prime slot for films celebrating national themes.
