He further opened up about the setbacks Ahan faced after Tadap, which failed to leave a mark commercially. “After his first film, there was a bit of a break in his career. You know, life always has its turmoil. People say, ‘Suniel Shetty’s son must get a lot of work,’ but Ahan went through a lot in life. Still, I am grateful he got Border 2 as his second film. It’s a great film, and I pray he does justice to it, and that it works well for all of us,” Suniel expressed.
