Ayushmann Khurrana Says "No Thanks" to Border 2! Sunny Deol’s Shadow Too Big?

Alright, doston, here’s the latest masala! Ever since Sunny Deol announced "Border 2" in June, fans have been dancing like there’s no tomorrow! But hold your horses, because there’s some major casting drama happening.

Our very own Ayushmann Khurrana, the guy who gave us gems like "Badhaai Ho," has decided to walk out of the much-anticipated sequel. Yes, you heard that right! Ayushmann ne balle balle karne se mana kar diya hai!

The Big Reason: Ayushmann’s Positioning in the Film!

So, what’s the fuss all about? According to sources—you know, those mysterious insiders who know everything—Ayushmann was pretty excited about playing a soldier in "Border 2." But then, bhaiya, Sunny Deol ka bhoot nahi utaar raha tha! 😅

Our source spilled the beans saying, "Ayushmann was in talks to play a soldier in the sequel. While both Ayushmann and the makers were keen on collaborating, the actor felt unsure of his positioning in an ensemble led by Sunny Deol, a towering star in his own right."

Acha chalo, Ayushmann baba, we get it. Sunny paaji ka shadow is a bit too long for comfort!

Diljit Dosanjh in the Running?

Now here’s the twist! Rumor has it that our Punjabi munda Diljit Dosanjh might be stepping in. “Nothing is confirmed yet. But Diljit has been approached by the makers. It will be a treat to see Diljit and Sunny together on screen, given their strong audience base in north India,” the source revealed.

Imagine the duo on-screen—Sunny with his dhaai kilo ka haath and Diljit with his swag! Picture perfect, no?

More About Border 2

For those living under a rock, "Border 2" was announced in June 2024, marking 27 years since the original film. Sunny Deol shared an emotional video saying, “27 saal pehle ek fauji ne vada kiya tha ki vo vapas aayega. Ussi vaade ko poora karne, Hindustan ki mitti ko apna salaam kehne, aa raha hai.”

While the OG film was directed by JP Dutta, the sequel is being helmed by Anurag Singh of "Kesari" fame. Dutta saab is sticking to production duties this time around, teaming up with Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, and Nidhi Dutta. The film is expected to go on floors in November this year.

For the uninitiated, the 1997 "Border" starred a galaxy of stars like Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, Rakhee Gulzar, Pooja Bhatt, and Tabu. Talk about a star filled affair!

Kiran’s Gyan:

Bollywood mein sab kuch chalta hai, except for sharing the limelight! Arre bhai, ek film mein do stars kaise fit ho sakte hain? Jaise ek gali mein do dogs nahi! Jab tak Sunny paaji hai, sabko side mein hi rehna padega! 😜
