Didn’t include Akshaye after ‘Dhurandhar’ success: Border 2 maker
The Indian film industry is no stranger to surprise casting announcements, and one such announcement that caught everyone’s attention was the inclusion of Akshaye Khanna in the highly anticipated film ‘Border 2’. The news sparked a flurry of excitement among fans, with many speculating that the decision to cast Akshaye was a result of the immense success of his recent film ‘Dhurandhar’. However, in a recent interview, producer Bhushan Kumar and director Anurag Singh have set the record straight, revealing that Akshaye’s role in ‘Border 2’ was not a by-product of the frenzy surrounding him after ‘Dhurandhar’.
According to Bhushan Kumar, the script for ‘Border 2’ was already in place, with Akshaye’s character being an integral part of the story from the very beginning. “It was already scripted…The hysteria of the film and Akshaye was already there, but we never thought of [profiting from] it,” he clarified. This statement puts to rest any speculation that the makers of ‘Border 2’ were trying to cash in on Akshaye’s newfound popularity after the success of ‘Dhurandhar’.
Director Anurag Singh also chimed in, confirming that Akshaye was always a part of the plan. “He was a part of the story from the very beginning,” he said. This reassurance from the director and producer should put to rest any doubts that fans may have had about the decision to cast Akshaye in the film. It’s clear that the makers of ‘Border 2’ had a clear vision for the film, and Akshaye’s character was always a key part of that vision.
The success of ‘Dhurandhar’ has undoubtedly brought Akshaye back into the spotlight, and it’s understandable that fans would assume that his inclusion in ‘Border 2’ was a result of his newfound popularity. However, it’s refreshing to see that the makers of the film are committed to their artistic vision, rather than trying to capitalize on current trends or popularity.
The ‘Border’ franchise has a long history of delivering high-quality films that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. The first film, released in 1997, was a critical and commercial success, and it’s clear that the makers of ‘Border 2’ are aiming to replicate that success. With a talented cast, including Akshaye Khanna, and a script that has been carefully crafted, ‘Border 2’ is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year.
As the release date for ‘Border 2’ approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting any updates or sneak peeks into the film.

In conclusion, the inclusion of Akshaye Khanna in ‘Border 2’ was not a result of the success of ‘Dhurandhar’, but rather a deliberate decision made by the makers of the film.
