I am India's soldier, whenever Mother Earth calls me, I come leaving everything behind)."

Varun Dhawan took to its social media and sharing the announcement video, wrote, “I was just a kid in class four when I went to Chandan cinema and saw Border. And it made such a big impact.
I still remember the sense of national pride we all felt in the hall. I began looking up to our armed forces and to this day, I salute how they protect us and keep us safe be it on our borders or during natural calamities. JP Dutta sir's war epic remains one of my favorite movies to this day.To play a part in Border 2 produced by JP sir and Bhushan Kumar is a very, very special moment in
my career. And I get to work with Sunny Paaji my hero makes it all the more special. I look forward to bringing a valiant jawaan story to screen in what promises to be India's biggest war film. I seek your good wishes A Jai Hind.”

The announcement came as a treat for the fans. One of the comments read, "Goosebumps guaranteed. Sonu Nigam's Voice is amazing." Another user wrote, "Varun Dhawan will nail it." Another user wrote, "tabahi loading. This will be a blockbuster." Another comment read, "Sunny paaji and Varun Dhawan, what a combo." Another commented, "Welcome to the battalion Varun Dhawan.
