There were reports that Khurrana would play a parallel lead alongside Deol in this Bhushan Kumar and J.P. Dutta production. In response to the ongoing speculations, T-Series and Nidhi’s sources have also refuted the claims of approaching Aaryan for Border 2. “These rumours are baseless and lack any factual basis.”
Border was a war film directed by J.P. Dutta. Set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, it is an adaptation of real life events that happened during the Battle of Longewala in 1971.
The film stars an ensemble cast of Deol, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, Sudesh Berry, Puneet Issar and Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Tabu, Raakhee, Pooja Bhatt and Sharbani Mukherjee feature in supporting roles. The film was mostly shot in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Some parts were also filmed in Jodhpur.
