Ever since, there has been a curiosity among the people to know more about this unexpected collaboration. And now, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Sunny Deol's Netflix debut will be directed by Siddharth P Malhotra.
A source shares, ' Sunny Deol is making his Netflix debut with an action-packed feature film, and the same will be directed by Siddharth P Malhotra. The film is based on the 2007 Kevin Bacon-led Death Sentence and has been adapted in Hindi by Suparn Verma.' The source further added that the yet-untitled actioner goes on floors in July 2025, and will hit the big screen in 2026. 'Sunny has allotted bulk dates for the shoot and is being paid a hefty amount to spearhead the feature film,' the source adds.
Meanwhile, Sunny is presently shooting for the Anurag Singh-directed Border 2. 'Sunny will be shooting for Border 2 until the end of June, following which he is expected to finish his prior commitments of Lahore: 1947. He then switches gears for a small schedule of Ramayana with Nitesh Tiwari, where he plays the part of Hanuman,' the source informs. After completing the three assignments, Sunny moves on to the yet-untitled Netflix original. 'He is in talks for multiple other films, scheduled to take off later this year. And of course, there is Gadar 3 in the writing stage. Sunny Deol is on a roll,' the source concludes.
Sunny was last seen in the Gopichand Malineni-directed Jaat, which has proved to be a middling success at the box office. A sequel to Jaat is also in the writing stage at the moment, and will take off in 2026. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

‘Pretty lost' Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty hop on Pune metro after wrapping ‘Border 2' shoot
Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, who are currently shooting for the highly anticipated war drama 'Border 2' alongside Sunny Deol and Diljit Dosanjh, recently had an amusing detour in Pune — one that involved getting lost and hopping onto the city metro. In a video shared on Instagram by Ahan Shetty, the actor can be seen filming himself and Ahan inside a metro compartment. The light-hearted clip begins with Varun saying, 'Right now, we are in Pune. We are pretty lost. So Ahan and me are getting on this metro and trying to get to our hotel. The actors had reportedly just wrapped up the first schedule of the film, and the spontaneous metro ride was part of their effort to find their way back to their hotel. Ahan captioned the video,'1st sched done…. Maza aaya (sic),' which translates to 'First schedule done, had fun.' The video quickly caught fans' attention, with many reacting to the unexpected metro ride. Several commuters recognised the actors and could be seen trying to click pictures through the window. Suniel Shetty, Ahan's father, commented under the video using a red heart emoji in place of the word 'love', simply writing, '❤️ it (sic).' The comments section was filled with amused and affectionate reactions. One user joked, 'bro took a metro in pune—Pune people don't take that (sic)!' Another wrote, 'Pune just got way cooler (sic),' while a third encouraged the actors, saying, 'How sweet… hope Border 2 brings your best performance. All the best… keep enjoying (sic).' 'Border 2' is a sequel to the 1997 blockbuster 'Border', and expectations are high with an ensemble cast and a patriotic storyline. The film's first schedule seems to have wrapped up on a positive and rather adventurous note for Varun and Ahan - as seen in the video.
