Diljit Dosanjh Ends Border 2 Shoot On A Sweet Note With Varun Dhawan And Ahan Shetty, Watch

Diljit Dosanjh wraps up Border 2 shoot with ladoos and heartfelt tribute to war hero Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon.

Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh recently completed filming for the much-awaited war drama Border 2 and marked the occasion with a sweet gesture — literally.

In a heartfelt moment captured on his Instagram, Diljit was seen distributing ladoos to co-stars Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, director Anurag Singh, and other crew members as a token of celebration and gratitude. Children from the Punjab-based filming location also joined the wrap-up festivity.

In the caption, Diljit wrote in Punjabi: "BORDER 2 shoot finished. Had the honor of portraying the role of Shaheed Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon Ji in the film.”

A Tribute to a National Hero

Diljit essays the role of the late Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, the only Indian Air Force officer to be posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra. Sekhon displayed extraordinary bravery during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, single-handedly defending the Srinagar Air Base against a Pakistani air raid.

The role holds significant emotional weight, and Diljit’s words reflect the pride he felt embodying a national hero on screen.

Star-Studded Ensemble Joins Forces

Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 brings together an ensemble cast featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. Backed by heavyweight producers Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, the film is being presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series in association with J.P. Films.

The film is slated to hit theatres on January 23, 2026, and promises to carry forward the legacy of its iconic predecessor.

Border 2: A Sequel to the 1997 War Classic

Border 2 is the sequel to the beloved 1997 film Border, which portrayed the Battle of Longewala during the Indo-Pakistani War. The original film, directed by J.P. Dutta, featured a legendary ensemble including Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff, and others. The new installment aims to reintroduce audiences to the bravery and sacrifice of Indian soldiers, with a fresh storyline and new faces.

Meanwhile, Diljit also has Panjab '95 in the pipeline, directed by Honey Trehan. The film is a biopic on Jaswant Singh Khalra, a Sikh human rights activist known for his courageous work during troubled times in Punjab.
