The film’s popularity has led to a renewed interest in the actor, with many speculating about his upcoming projects. One such project that has been making headlines is ‘Border 2’, a sequel to the 1997 film ‘Border’. However, producer Bhushan Kumar has clarified that Akshaye Khanna’s role in ‘Border 2’ was not a result of the frenzy surrounding him after ‘Dhurandhar’.
In an exclusive interview, Kumar stated that Akshaye Khanna’s role in ‘Border 2’ was already scripted and planned before the release of ‘Dhurandhar’. He said, “It was already scripted…The hysteria of the film and Akshaye was already there, but we never thought of [profiting from] it.” This statement puts to rest any speculation that the makers of ‘Border 2’ were trying to cash in on Akshaye Khanna’s newfound popularity.
Director Anurag Singh also chimed in, stating that Akshaye Khanna was a part of the story from the very beginning. This suggests that the makers of ‘Border 2’ had always envisioned Akshaye Khanna in the role, and that his involvement was not a result of any last-minute changes.
The clarification from Kumar and Singh is significant, as it highlights the planning and foresight that goes into making a film. It also underscores the fact that the makers of ‘Border 2’ were committed to telling a story that they believed in, rather than trying to capitalize on the popularity of a particular actor.

The film told the story of a group of Indian soldiers who fought against the Pakistani army during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
