At the launch event of the song ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’ from Border 2 held at the frontier Tanot area in Jaisalmer, Sunny Deol became emotional while recalling his deep connection to the original film. He also shared that Border was inspired by his father Dharmendra’s legendary war film, Haqeeqat.

What Inspired Sunny Deol To Do ‘Border’?

While addressing BSF jawans and the media at the song launch event, Sunny Deol recalled his father Dharmendra’s war classic Haqeeqat, saying it had a ‘profound impact’ on him as a child and inspired him to create Border.

“I did ‘Border’ because when I watched my father’s (Dharmendra) film ‘Haqeeqat’, I loved it deeply. I was a child then. So, when I became an actor, I decided to make a film similar to my father’s movie. I spoke to J.P. Dutta, and we decided to make a film on the Longewala subject, which is extremely close to our hearts and lives in the hearts of all of you,” said Sunny Deol.
