Responding to the question, Varun clarified the film’s subject matter and avoided making any commitment about international release plans. "Border 2 is a film based on the 1971 war and some true events around that. I'm sure Sunny sir ke Pakistan mein bhi fan hain #VarunSays," the actor replied. Another fan asked Varun what made him agree to be part of the sequel. Explaining his decision, the actor highlighted the film’s focus on collective military effort. "A war can never be won by an individual; it takes all forces to come together. In #border2 we have the army, navy and airforce together - oh ya and also the one-man army Sunny Deol," Varun said. ‘You Taught Me Everything Pa’: Varun Dhawan Wishes Father’s Day 2025 to Dad David Dhawan.
