Diljit Dosanjh Clarifies Misconception: "I Am Not Involved in Border 2"
Amidst the ongoing ban by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) on his future projects, Diljit Dosanjh will continue his role in the upcoming film "Border 2." The film, which is scheduled for release on Republic Day in 2026, has been granted a special exemption by FWICE due to its near completion, with approximately 60% of the film already shot.
The news comes after producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series expressed his immediate approval for the video that Diljit Dosanjh posted on Instagram, showcasing a behind-the-scenes (BTS) look at the "Border 2" set. The video, which garnered 3.2 million views in just 12 hours, dispelled rumours of Diljit's exit from the project and reassured fans about his involvement.
Despite the ban on Diljit's future projects, the BTS video helped counteract speculation surrounding his participation in the highly anticipated patriotic sequel. However, the controversy surrounding Diljit is unlikely to fade easily, with industry insiders divided on whether the focus will shift to "Border 2" or continue to linger.
The ongoing debate revolves around the balance between creative freedom and national pride, a topic that has been at the forefront of discussions since the ban was imposed on Diljit's future projects. The ban was instigated following the release of "Sardaar Ji 3," which was banned in India due to the hiring of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, but gained decent success abroad.
In response to the controversy, Diljit defended the release of "Sardaar Ji 3," stating that he filmed the movie in 2024, several weeks before the escalation of tensions. He stepped onto the set of "Border 2" in an Air Force-inspired uniform, exuding confidence as he prepared to rehearse a dance routine for the iconic song 'Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge' from the original movie "Border."
Official statements from T-Series deny that they will cease working with Diljit after "Border 2," though FWICE's stance remains firm on future projects. The relationship between Diljit and T-Series appears to be strong, with potential future collaborations on the horizon.
As "Border 2" nears its completion, anticipation for the film is growing. With Diljit Dosanjh set to reprise his role, fans can look forward to an exciting continuation of the popular franchise. The film's release on Republic Day in 2026 promises to be a significant event in the Indian film industry.
Engaging with the film industry's buzz, the BTS video featuring Diljit Dosanjh on the set of "Border 2" brought attention to the ongoing controversy surrounding his involvement in movies and TV. Amidst the debate about creative freedom and national pride, the upcoming film serves as a platform for Diljit to showcase his talent alongside celebrities, contributing to the entertainment landscape.
