The first look of Diljit Dosanjh as a fighter pilot in the upcoming war drama "Border 2" has been revealed, generating considerable excitement among fans. The film, a sequel to the 1997 blockbuster "Border", is directed by Anurag Singh and features an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. "Border 2" is slated to release on January 23, 2026, coinciding with India's Republic Day weekend.

The poster showcases Dosanjh in an Indian Air Force uniform inside a fighter jet cockpit, with an intense expression. The aircraft appears to be under fire, hinting at the perilous situations his character will face. Dosanjh's character is identified as NJS Sekhon, with the tagline "Guru's hawk". This is likely a reference to Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, the only Indian Air Force officer to be awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration.

"Border 2" aims to capture the spirit and intensity of the original film while presenting a new chapter in the saga of courage and sacrifice. While the first film focused on the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 war, "Border 2" will also delve into events from the perspective of the Air Force. According to sources, the film will not be a direct sequel but will explore a story that unfolds on the same night as the events of "Border".

Sunny Deol returns to reprise his role from the original, adding to the film's nostalgic appeal. Varun Dhawan also joins the cast. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta.

The unveiling of Diljit Dosanjh's first look has amplified anticipation for "Border 2," with fans expressing their excitement on social media. The film is expected to be a grand war epic that pays tribute to the bravery and dedication of the Indian armed forces.
