Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan is making headlines once again as he joins the cast of the highly anticipated sequel Border 2, starring alongside Sunny Deol. Despite the excitement surrounding his new role, the casting has sparked a mixed reaction from fans and critics alike.
In a recent teaser for Border 2, Varun Dhawan delivers a powerful line in a military context: “Dushman ki har goli se Jai Hind bol kar takrata hun. Jab dharti maa bulati hai, sab chhod kar aata hun. Hindustan ka fauji hun main.” The teaser showcases Dhawan’s transition into a soldier role, marking a new direction in his career.
Many fans have expressed their enthusiasm for Dhawan’s casting, viewing it as a significant step in his journey to becoming a major Bollywood star. One fan tweeted, “#VarunDhawan will be in the Roll to Enter the Next League of his Stardom with #BabyJohn. He will Enter Big League and with #Border2 he will attain Stardom equal to #RanbirKapoor and #RanveerSingh.” Another expressed, “Varun Dhawan will be the next Superstar from Bollywood.”
However, not everyone is on board with the decision. Some critics and trolls have expressed their dissatisfaction with Dhawan’s role in Border 2. Accusations of overacting have surfaced on social media, with one user commenting, “Overacting ki dukan ko kyu liya 😭 koi comedy thodi hai,” and another suggesting, “Cast @SidMalhotra in Border-2. Border – 2 needs Superstars like Akshay, Salman, Shahrukh etc to match old Border-1 which had so many Super Stars. Varun Dhawan isn’t a Superstar Material. Good for supporting role.”
The sequel to the 1997 blockbuster Border, which featured an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, and others, is expected to carry forward the patriotic and dramatic elements that made the original film a hit. As Dhawan prepares to take on this new challenge, the buzz around his performance continues to generate both excitement and debate.
