Anurag Singh’s Border 2 was released in theatres today. The film is a sequel to the popular 1997 war drama and brings back a strong wave of nostalgia. Ahead of the release, there were rumours that actors Akshaye Khanna and Suniel Shetty would make cameo appearances in the film. With Shetty actively promoting the film for his son Ahan, the speculation only grew stronger. Now that the film is out, it can be confirmed that while the actors do not make physical cameos, they have not been forgotten either.
In the end-credit scene of Border 2, Sunny Deol visits a Gurudwara six years after the death of his son Angad, accompanied by his wife, played by Mona Singh. In a poignant moment, he recalls the soldiers who were martyred in the 1971 war, along with his comrades from Border—Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, and Jackie Shroff—who appear as figments of his imagination inside the Gurudwara. The scene struck an emotional chord, triggering a wave of nostalgia among fans.
