As the teaser for the eagerly awaited war drama “Border 2” was unveiled by the makers, Ahan Shetty took a moment to reflect on his journey since his debut film “Tadap,” which was released back in 2021.
Ahan expressed his gratitude for being entrusted with a significant project like “Border 2.” He shared several photos from the teaser launch event on his Instagram, writing, “It’s been a long journey since my first film Tadap released four years ago. A journey of patience, growth, and self-belief.”
He continued, “Coming back feels deeply personal, and being trusted with a film as powerful as Border 2 is an honour beyond words. Grateful, proud, and ready for what lies ahead.” Ahan concluded his post with a heartfelt “Jai Hind, Jai Bharat 🇮🇳.”
During the event, Ahan spoke about the invaluable advice he received from his father, actor Suniel Shetty, while preparing for “Border 2.” He revealed that this guidance helped him remain grounded and focused throughout the process.
Discussing his preparations for the role, Ahan shared, “Obviously, physicality wise I had to change a bit. But again, like Papa had said, just be honest. Just be yourself. Not that I am playing myself, but just go out there, enjoy yourself. Don’t think too much about what people have to say. And don’t compare it to Border 1. That was the most important.”
He candidly admitted, “I would like to say that the first one or two days I was petrified on set. I mean, my hands were shaking like this. Just being part of such a big film, my film Tadap came 4 years ago, in 2021. So, I had a long gap. So, to be able to just come on set with Varun, Sunny sir, to just be able to learn everything, to have the support of my producers, and to have a director like Anurag sir was a blessing in disguise, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
