Ayushmann Khurrana exits Border 2

Sunny Deol recently revealed plans for a sequel to his 1997 film, Border, called Border 2. There were rumors that Anurag Singh’s film would star Sunny and Ayushmann Khurrana in the main roles. Nonetheless, a report has stated that following extensive discussions over several months, Ayushmann has decided to withdraw from Border 2 due to uncertainty about his role in the Sunny-led group drama.
“Ayushmann was in talks to play a soldier in the sequel. While both Ayushmann and the makers were keen on collaborating, the actor felt unsure of his positioning in an ensemble led by Sunny Deol, a towering star in his own right,” the source told the portal. Recently, there have been rumours that the war drama will feature Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh.
Speaking of which, the source added, “Nothing is confirmed yet. But Diljit has been approached by the makers. It will be a treat to see Diljit and Sunny together on screen, given their strong audience base in north India.” The film is expected to go on the floor by November.
