How often does one get the opportunity to write the sequel of a film that they had watched wide-eyed as a child? When screenwriter Sumit Arora was offered Border 2, the sequel to JP Dutta’s much loved Border (1997), he knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “This was an emotional opportunity for me because we have all seen Border growing up. I have a vivid memory of watching the film in Ajanta Theatre in Meerut,” he recalls.
