The teaser of Border 2 has ignited strong excitement, drawing whistles, applause and instant attention for its scale, intensity and stirring visuals.

Ahan Shetty Talks About Border 2

Reflecting on Anurag Singh’s approach, Ahan emphasizes that authenticity was non-negotiable on the sets of Border 2. “Anurag Singh understands that authenticity cannot be manufactured, it has to be earned, and he made it clear Border 2 would be forged with military precision, not typical action conventions,” he shares. For Ahan, this meant moving far beyond executing high-octane sequences or dramatic moments.

What truly altered his process was the director’s insistence on mindset over mechanics. “He constantly pushed me to inhabit a mindset rather than just execute sequences,” Ahan explains. “I had to understand what my character was carrying into every moment,the weight of his training, the responsibility to his team, and the knowledge that every decision has life-or-death consequences.”

This psychological immersion became central to Ahan’s performance. He credits Anurag Singh for teaching him the power of restraint and silence. “He showed me that the stillness, the restraint, the command in a soldier’s eyes speaks louder than any action ever could. That shift in perspective transformed how I approached the role entirely.”

Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and directed by Anurag Singh, the film continues the legacy of honouring the heroism and indomitable spirit of Indian soldiers, taking audiences on a spectacular journey of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice.
