Ahan Shetty, who made his debut in the 2021 film Tadap, is set to play a pivotal role in Border 2. He follows in the footsteps of his father, Suniel Shetty, whose portrayal of Assistant Commandant Bhairav Singh in the original film remains one of the most iconic performances in Indian war cinema.

Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar and J.P. Dutta, Border 2 is scheduled for a worldwide release on 23 January 2026, strategically timed for the Republic Day long weekend.

The film serves as a multi-front war drama set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War. It features an ensemble cast led by Sunny Deol, who returns as a veteran commander, alongside Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh. Early reports suggest that Ahan Shetty will portray Lieutenant Commander M.S. Rawat, representing the Indian Navy’s contribution to the conflict.

KL Rahul’s public show of support is the latest in a series of promotional efforts from the Shetty family and their close associates. The cricketer, married to actress Athiya Shetty, frequently engages in family milestones.
