Ayushmann Khurrana steps back from “Border 2” amid role concerns
Ayushmann Khurrana has decided not to join the cast of “Border 2,” the highly anticipated sequel to Sunny Deol’s 1997 war film. According to a report from Mid-day, Khurrana withdrew from the project due to concerns over his role’s positioning within the ensemble cast led by Deol.
Reasons for Khurrana’s Decision
The report cites a source who explains that Khurrana was initially interested in the role of a soldier in the sequel. However, after several months of discussions, he felt uncertain about his place in the film, given Deol’s prominent role as the lead. The source mentioned, “Ayushmann was unsure about his positioning in a film where Sunny Deol is the main star.”
Possible New Cast Member
Recent rumors suggest that Punjabi actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh might join the cast. The source added, “Nothing is confirmed yet, but Diljit has been approached by the makers. His pairing with Sunny Deol could be a big draw for audiences in north India.”
“Border 2,” directed by Anurag Singh, is expected to start filming by November. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the cast and the film’s development.
