Pinkvilla was the first to report that after the historic success of Gadar 2, Sunny Deol is all set to feature in the sequel to his 1997 cult blockbuster, Border. The film will be produced by Bhushan Kumar along with JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, and the duo have roped in Anurag Singh to direct what is touted to be the biggest war film of Indian Cinema. And now, Pinkvilla has got another exciting update on Border 2. We have exclusively learnt that Border 2 has just got bigger as Varun Dhawan has signed on to headline the film alongside Sunny Deol.
