Actor Varun Dhawan recently engaged in a spirited interaction with cadets from the National Defence Academy (NDA) while filming the highly anticipated war drama, Border 2. The event took place at the renowned military training institution in Pune, where Dhawan took on an impressive challenge: completing 50 knuckle push-ups alongside the dedicated young cadets.
In a behind-the-scenes video shared on Dhawan’s Instagram, the actor, dressed in a casual white T-shirt and trousers, demonstrated remarkable fitness and camaraderie as he performed push-ups in sync with the cadets. The enthusiasm was palpable, with the cadets matching his energy in a display of determination, all while receiving cheers of encouragement from senior officers and crew members present at the scene.
Dhawan encapsulated the spirit of the moment in his post, writing, “BORDER 2, Hamare saare young cadets ke saath knuckle challenge.” This sentiment highlighted not only the actor’s connection with the upcoming film but also the inspiration drawn from the future officers of the Indian Army.
The Pune shooting marks a crucial stage in the production of Border 2, which aims to follow in the footsteps of the 1997 cult classic. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film features a star-studded cast including Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and Varun Dhawan. It is produced by industry veterans Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta.
Presented by T-Series and JP Films, Border 2 is set to deliver a potent mix of action, patriotism, and emotional depth, all while paying tribute to the sacrifices made by the armed forces. The film is currently being filmed at various defense locations, with the NDA providing a genuine military backdrop for significant scenes, enhancing the authenticity of the storyline.
