Border 2: Ahan Shetty's 'fierce' first look as Indian Navy Officer from Sunny Deol's war drama revealed

Border 2 is a much-awaited sequel to the 1997 war film. The film stars Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty. After unveiling Varun Dhawan's look from Border 2, the makers shared the first poster of Diljit Dosanjh as an Indian Air Force officer a few weeks ago, which received a lot of attention from fans. Now, on December 9, the makers unveiled the first look poster featuring Ahan Shetty.

Ahan Shetty's first look from Border 2

Suniel Shetty's son, Ahan Shetty, is all set to be seen in the role of an Indian Navy officer in Border 2. The poster features the actor in a uniform, covered in blood, hinting that he has been through intense combat. He is seen shouting fiercely, possibly in the middle of a battle, while holding a large gun or cannon. The makers introduced him as 'Stronger than the waves. Fiercer than the storm.' 

Border 2 characters

Border 2 also features Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh. Diljit will be seen playing the role of Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, an officer in the Indian Air Force, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra.

For the unversed, Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was an officer of the Indian Air Force. He was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military honour during the war, in recognition of his sole defence of the Srinagar air base against Pakistan Air Force air strikes during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. He was stationed at the Srinagar air base when six F-86 jets of the Pakistan Air Force attacked on December 14, 1971.

Varun Dhawan will portray the character of Param Vir Chakra awardee Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, while Sunny Deol will reportedly reprise a role similar to the first instalment.
