'Border 2' not about about war, says Suniel Shetty
What's the story
As Ahan Shetty's Border 2 released on Friday, his father and veteran actor Suniel Shetty shared an emotional note. He called the original film more than just a movie, saying, "Border was never just a film I acted in." "It became a responsibility I carried long after the cameras stopped rolling." The actor took to Instagram to share a reel featuring scenes from his 1997 film Border and its sequel, with the song Mitti Ke Bete playing in the background.

Shetty's emotional message to Ahan
Shetty wrote, "Years later, watching you wear the uniform brings it full circle, not as nostalgia, but as a reminder. Of discipline. Sacrifice. Silence. Courage." "This film isn't about glory. This film isn't about war. It's a reminder of why peace exists." "A border isn't where the country ends, it's where courage begins. And some stories don't stay on screen, they stay in the spine of a nation." "May we never forget what that uniform truly stands for."
