Recently, Varun Dhawan shared insights into the rigorous process of filming this war epic, highlighting the intense physical discipline required for his role.
In a recent interaction, Varun Dhawan spoke about the challenges of stepping into the world of Border 2. He explained that the project is not just another film but a commitment that demands a high level of fitness and mental toughness. According to him, the shoot has been physically taxing, often taking place in difficult environments that test the limits of the cast and crew.
Reflecting on the experience, Varun said, “Border 2 demanded a different level of physical discipline, often in tough conditions.” He explained that the nature of the film requires the actors to look and act like soldiers, which meant undergoing training that went beyond standard gym workouts. The goal was to achieve a level of authenticity that pays tribute to the Indian Armed Forces.
Varun further shared that the tough conditions on set helped the actors get into character. Whether it was the weather or the rugged terrain, the environment played a crucial role in shaping their performances. Varun mentioned that the discipline required for this film was unlike anything he had experienced in his previous projects.
Border 2 features an ensemble cast, including Sunny Deol, who returns to lead the franchise. The film is expected to recreate the scale and emotional depth of the original while bringing a fresh perspective to modern war cinema. For Varun, being part of this legacy is an important milestone in his career. The film will release in cinemas on January 23.
