Diljit Dosanjh’s Instagram Video Confirms He’s Still Shooting for Border 2 

Rumors of Diljit Dosanjh's exit from Border 2 sparked a frenzy online last week, with many linking it to his recent film Sardaar Ji 3, which co-starred Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. However, the Punjabi actor swiftly put the speculation to rest. A behind-the-scenes video from the Border 2 set, shared on July 2, 2025, shows Diljit enthusiastically rehearsing a dance routine to the iconic song ‘Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge’ from the original movie Border.

The clip, which garnered 3.2 million views in just 12 hours, not only showcases Diljit's dedication to his role but also dispels the rumors surrounding his involvement in the highly anticipated patriotic sequel.


The BTS Video That Settled the Issue 


Diljit's Instagram post showed him standing in front of his vanity van, wearing an army uniform, as he prepared to perform a song number. Takeaways:

Verified shooting is in progress: Background cheers of crew members, and producer Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) liked the post instantly.

Fan speculation: Hashtags like #DiljitStaysInBorder2 were trending.

Industry insiders have confirmed that 60% of the film has been completed, making it impossible to find another actor.

Why were there Rumors of Diljit's Removal?

It's a story about Sardaar Ji 3, in which a boycott tradition is called for in India because Hania Aamir was hired after the April 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack. This has prompted the makers of Border 2 to drop Diljit, who had openly worked with the creator and collaborated with Hania, saying it was unpatriotic.

But some insiders confirmed clarifications:

  • There are no Pakistani actors in Border 2.
  • The Diljit deal had been signed nine months earlier, even before the worsening of the geopolitical environment.
  • Director Anurag Singh refused to comply with the take-down request, deeming it unfair.

  • Sardaar Ji 3 was banned in India but gained decent success abroad.
  • Pakistan saw an opening weekend of US$1.2 million. 

Diljit defended the release, stating that he filmed in 2024, several weeks before the escalation of tensions. Opponents of the realists argue that the release undermines India's position on cross-border cooperation.

What Lies Ahead for Diljit and Border 2?

With the release date of Border 2 scheduled on Republic Day in 2026, Diljit has the following commitments listed on his calendar:

  • Met Gala 2025 appearance in his capacity as a brand ambassador.
  • Backlash risks: Some distributors are prepared to cut down on screens for Diljit’s films.

Will the Controversy Fade or Generate Interest in Border 2 Success?

If Diljit's BTS video has cleared up any rumors about his exit, the debate over the balance between creative freedom and national pride is likely to continue. As shooting wraps up for Border 2, industry insiders are divided—will the controversy fade over time, or, ironically, shift focus to the patriotic sequel set to release next year? Only time will tell if this situation affects the film's success or, ironically, draws even more attention to what is expected to be the most anticipated film of 2026.
