Actor Varun Dhawan will take on a role inspired by the late Indian Army officer, Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, a Param Vir Chakra Awardee, in his upcoming film “Border 2″.
Following the initial sneak peek of Varun from the war drama, Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya’s granddaughter, Anushka Dahiya, showered praises on the makers. Anushka shared a picture of Varun and Sunny Deol from the teaser launch event on social media, expressing her excitement with a heartfelt note that stated, “We’re all very proud & excited for the film. The hard work, sincerity and josh is truly mirrored in the teaser itself! (sic).”

The teaser looks very promising, and it’s truly special for me and my family to see our legacy being told with such spirit and sincerity. Super excited to see the film. Wishing you and the entire team all the very best for the film.”
During the teaser launch event, Varun expressed his gratitude towards the Indian Armed Forces. He stated, “Hum civildigihunt bahot lucky hai. Hume pata hi nahi hai wo log kitna tyaag kar rahe hai humare liye. Hum yaha baithe hi hai unki wajah se. Hum saas le paa rahe hai unki wajah se,” which translates to, “We civildigihunt are very lucky. We have no idea how much they are sacrificing for us. We are sitting here because of them. We are able to breathe because of them.”
He added, “We are so lucky to have our Army, Navy, and Air Force together.”
