By dint of reports of actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Kartik Aaryan boarding the sequel to the 1997 J.P. Dutta directorial and Sunny Deol starrer, J.P. Dutta’s daughter and director Nidhi Dutta cleared the rumour.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Nidhi clarified that the casting is not finalised.

In response to the ongoing speculations, T-Series and Nidhi’s sources have also refuted the claims of approaching Kartik for ‘Border 2’.

The film stars an ensemble cast of Sunny 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 and some parts in Jodhpur.
