'Sandese aate hain' to echo once again in Border 2

Mumbai, May 9 (UNI) In a nostalgic yet powerful move, the makers of Border 2, the sequel to the 1997 war classic 'Border', are set to revive the soul-stirring anthem 'sandese aate hain', this time with a contemporary rendition.
Produced collaboratively by JP, Dutta, Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Dutta, the film seeks to uphold the emotional gravitas of its predecessor. Originally performed by Sonu Nigam and Roop Kumar Rathore, the song captured the poignant emotions of soldiers longing for their family amid the brutality of war.
Reportedly, the rights to the song have been acquired for a staggering Rs 60 lakh, underscoring its profound cultural and cinematic significance. The producers aim to use this revived version not only as a homage to the Indian Armed Forces but as a bridge connecting two generations of cinema-goers through music and memory.
The reimagined versions, informally dubbed as 'Sandese Aate Hain 2.0', will reportedly be performed by Sonu Nigam once again, this time joined by the mellifluous Arijit Singh. The recreated anthem will be visually brought to life through a stirring featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh.
Directed by Anurag Singh, "Border 2" is slated for a theatrical release on January 23, 2026.

This remark did not sit well with Dhanush's fans, who felt that the latter was clearly the one who led the movie entirely. Nagarjuna clarifies his 'real hero' comment At another recent success meet event for Kuberaa, Nagarjuna broke the silence and issued clarification on his previous statement, adding that if he ever wished to take away all the credit for the film alone. He remarked on noticing all the criticism and backlash over his previous remark and said, 'Characters are the pivotal and central point of the film. It's not my cinema. I've seen a lot of memes and trolls on social media for my words at the Kuberaa press meet.' Nagarjuna says Kuberaa belongs to everyone The senior star continued by highlighting that what he meant in his earlier statement was misunderstood, leading to unnecessary controversy. He added, 'I want to make it clear that this film belongs to everyone who worked on it. I'm saying again, this is Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa. It's Deva's cinema, not Dhanush but Deva. This film is Deepak's, Sameera's, and Khushboo's; above all, it belongs to Sekhar Kammula. Thank you so much.'
