The actor, who plays an army official in the war drama, shared, “This moment felt real, powerful, and it was something unfolding right in front of our eyes. I knew it would be impactful. I told him to use it, and he replied,  ‘Mai sirf teaser me use karunga'” drawing applause from the audience.

Uncertain whether the line would ultimately make it into the final cut, Varun then revealed he turned to Sunny Deol, who essays the role of Lt. Colonel Fateh Singh Kaler in the film, for help. He confessed to asking Sunny to vouch for the dialogue. Recalling Sunny Deol’s delivery of the line, Varun said, “Mere raungte khade ho gaye the. (I literally got goosebumps)”

Concluding the anecdote, Anurag emphasised the film’s authenticity, stating that Border 2 remains deeply rooted in reality. He revealed that the events, characters, stories and even the dialogues featured in the film are drawn from real accounts of the Indian Armed Forces.
