Bhushan Kumar Confirms ‘Border 3’

Speaking in an exclusive interaction with Hindustan Times, Bhushan Kumar acknowledged that the overwhelming response to Border 2 has strengthened plans for the third installment. “Obviously, it is such a big franchise. If you bring something back after almost 30 years and it is getting so much love, we will definitely take it forward,” Bhushan said, confirming that Border 3 is greenlit. He added that the film will once again be a collaboration between T-Series and JP Films, similar to Border 2.

‘Border 3’ Not Going on Floors Soon

While Border 3 has been confirmed, Bhushan clarified that the project is not entering pre-production right away. He revealed that he and director Anurag Singh will first resume a different project they had planned before Border 2 came into the picture. “We are doing a joint venture with his company and my company. He’ll be directing, and it will be something new. Border 3 will happen in due course,” Bhushan shared. He further explained, “We will continue what we were discussing even before Border 2 came into the picture. Now is the time for that. The next film will be on those lines.” The director for Border 3 has not been finalised yet. ‘Border 2’ X Review: Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty’s Patriotic Sandesa Lives up to the Original, Say Netizens.
