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><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><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\"><strong>Kiara&#8217;s Old Comment On Beef, Porn Ban Goes Viral: It&#8217;s Sad&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/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><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><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\"><strong>MHCU Gets Its Biggest Rival Yet, King To Clash With Shakti Shalini<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/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":301508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[94666,148759,148760,148761,148763,148762,148758,2345,18,117,19,17,327,2976,148757],"class_list":{"0":"post-301507","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-eire","17":"tag-entertainment","18":"tag-ie","19":"tag-ireland","20":"tag-movies","21":"tag-sunny-deol","22":"tag-sunny-deol-fan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115950736035846941","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
