Mumbai, Jan 8: Bollywood fans are eagerly counting down to the release of Border 2, which is set to hit cinema halls on January 23. The film, a sequel to the 1997 classic Border, is based on the 1971 India–Pakistan war and related real-life events. While the original was directed by J.P. Dutta, Border 2 is helmed by Anurag Singh.

I am sure Sunny sir also has fans in Pakistan.” His reply quickly sparked discussion on social media.
