Sources revealed to Pinkvilla that Sonam Bajwa portrays a strong-headed Punjabi girl in the movie. “Sonam Bajwa is paired alongside Diljit Dosanjh in Border 2. Much like Border, her character has a strong emotional arc, and her dynamics with Diljit will stand out as one of the major highlights, alongside the war sequences and the Indo-Pak conflict,” shared a source.

The same source added that shooting with Diljit Dosanjh has begun in Pune. The rest of the cast will join within two weeks. “Border 2 will be shot from June until mid-August, with a combined shoot involving all the lead actors – Sunny, Varun, Diljit, Ahan, and Sonam – among others. The makers are also finalising one more top female actor to join the cast alongside Varun. And casting is currently in progress,” they explained.
