Actor Suniel Shetty stated that he would have reprised his role in "Border 2" if his character, Captain Bhairon Singh, had survived the 1997 film "Border." Shetty, who attended the song launch for the sequel, expressed his enduring connection to the original war drama, inspired by the 1971 India-Pakistan conflict. He also shared his gratitude for the opportunity given to his son, Ahan Shetty, in the upcoming "Border 2," directed by Anurag Singh and set for a January 23 release.
