The war drama film is a sequel to the 1997 starrer and emerged as a fan favourite upon release. However, it is well known that the release of the movie was banned in the Gulf countries, allegedly due to its anti-Pakistan sentiment. Having missed the opportunity to watch the movie on the big screens in the UAE, a fan of veteran actor Dharmendra travelled all the way to Mumbai to catch Sunny Deol&#8217;s Border 2 in the big screens.<\/p>\n<p>In a video now viral online, a man from the UAE, Sheikh Hamad Riyami, could be seen shaking hands with Sunny Deol. He could be heard sharing his excitement about meeting the actor. He said, &#8220;I&#8217;m very happy to be here. I&#8217;m very excited and happy about this film. I feel this year will remind me of many films.&#8221; He then listed films of Dharmendra from 1987, like Hukumat, Dadagiri, Loha, and Mera Karma Mera Dharam, saying that Border 2 reminded him of such films. He also added that Sunny Deol has five or six other releases this year, which he hopes will also be a hit. Hamad has been a Bollywood fan for a long time. He is a self-proclaimed big fan of Dharmendra.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicworld.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/ahead-of-republic-day-kiara-advani-old-comment-on-beef-and-porn-ban-goes-viral-it-taking-away-meaning-of-democracy\" data-sveltekit-reload=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kiara&#8217;s Old Comment On Beef, Porn Ban Goes Viral: It&#8217;s Sad&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The second instalment of the iconic film brings back Sunny Deol as the main lead, with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty joining him to fight the enemies. &#8220;Inspired by the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan War, Border 2 is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with JP Dutta&#8217;s JP Films. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicworld.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/king-release-date-mhcu-gets-its-biggest-box-office-rival-yet-shakti-shalini-to-clash-with-siddharth-anand-shah-rukh-khan\" data-sveltekit-reload=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MHCU Gets Its Biggest Rival Yet, King To Clash With Shakti Shalini<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty and Varun Dhawan starrer Border 2 hit the big screens on January&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[72984,129502,129503,129504,129506,129505,129501,3802,93,61,60,270,19929,129500],"class_list":{"0":"post-261783","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-border-2","9":"tag-border-2-full-movie","10":"tag-border-2-movie-online","11":"tag-border-2-ott","12":"tag-border-2-release-date","13":"tag-border-2-review","14":"tag-border-2-uae","15":"tag-dharmendra","16":"tag-entertainment","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-movies","20":"tag-sunny-deol","21":"tag-sunny-deol-fan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
