Why Boman Irani is thanked in 'Border 2'
What's the story
The much-anticipated film Border 2, which was recently released, has been generating a lot of buzz. One of the reasons for this excitement is the mention of veteran actor Boman Irani in the opening credits under "Special Thanks." This has led to speculation among viewers about his possible cameo in the film. However, Bollywood Hungama revealed that Irani's contribution to Border 2 is not through an on-screen appearance but rather through a voiceover.

Irani's voiceover sets the stage for 'Border 2'
The film Border 2 begins with a narration that sets the context of the 1971 conflict in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and its escalation into a full-scale war between India and Pakistan. Irani's deep baritone voice adds gravitas to this opening sequence, enhancing viewers' understanding of the historical events that follow. His contribution is thus crucial in establishing the tone and context for the rest of the film.
