Republic Day 2025: Varun Dhawan Observes Kids Marching, Drops Hints About ‘Border 2’ Sequel | Bollywood Dish

Hey there, Bollywood buffs and drama devotees! It’s your favorite Bollywood Newshound Nisha here, ready to spill some filmi beans with a side of sarcasm and a sprinkle of sass! Ready for a ride? Buckle up! 🎬✨

So, in a classic move that only Varun Dhawan could pull off, our charming "Bhediya" star spent Republic Day watching kids parade around with flags like mini freedom fighters. But hold your horses, there’s more! In true Bollywood style, Varun couldn’t resist dropping a not-so-subtle hint about his next big gig, “Border 2”. Oh, the drama!

While scrolling through his Instagram stories, Varun treated us to a video of this patriotic parade, complete with the epic soundtrack of "Sandese Aate Hai" from the fan-favorite war film “Border”. Because, you know, nothing screams national pride like a good ol’ Bollywood tune.

And just like that, with a flick of his Insta magic, Varun nonchalantly scribbles “Border 2” on the screen. He’s casually chilling in his car while doing this, because why not? After all, when you’re Bollywood royalty, you can make big announcements from the comfort of your seat. 🚗

Now, let’s dive into the juicy deets of “Border 2”! Directed by Anurag Singh, this action-packed thriller is bringing together a stellar cast: Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and of course, our man Varun. The film is said to draw inspiration from the gripping 1999 Kargil War. Expect some serious on-screen fireworks, my friends! 💥

The project is being backed by a powerhouse team: Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta. It’s a big deal, with Gulshan Kumar & T-Series teaming up with JP Dutta’s J.P. Films. Talk about a dream team!

A little birdie told me that Varun has already started shooting in the scenic locales of Madhya Pradesh. A snapshot from the set, featuring Dhawan, Bhushan Kumar, and Nidhi Dutta with the iconic clapboard, has taken the internet by storm.

Just last week, during Army Day on January 15th, Varun took a moment to honor the "real heroes" of our nation. He shared heartwarming photos on Instagram, posing with jawans and even a tank! If there’s one thing Varun knows how to do, it’s striking a pose. Respect! 🇮🇳

“Border 2” is all set to make its grand entrance in theaters on January 23, 2026. Mark your calendars because this one’s going to be a blockbuster!

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the grand circus that is Bollywood, remember, a flag-waving child today could be your co-star tomorrow! And in the world of war dramas, the line between Instagram teasers and national pride is as thin as Varun’s mustache. Keep those Insta notifications on, you never know when the next big reveal might drop! 🎥🇮🇳
