While ‘Border’ was based on the events of Battle of Longewala, ‘Border 2’ seems based on the 1999 Kargil War. In early 1999, Pakistani troops infiltrated across the Line of Control (LoC) and occupied Indian territory mostly in the Kargil district. “Border 2” is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series & JP Dutta’s J.P. Films. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, and is set to land in theatres on January 23, 2026. –IANS dc/
