Actor Varun Dhawan has finally spoken about the trolling he has been facing ahead of the release of his much-awaited film 'Border 2.'

I believe that you shut down the noise and just let your work do the talking.It doesn't really matter Varun said.

Adding that he trusts the film, he continued, Obviously, numbers and all these things don't concern me. But I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai (I believe in the film. It's very important to make a good film. I'm not concerned with numbers. I believe we made a good film). That's the most important thing."

The second instalment of the iconic film brings back Sunny Deol as the lead, with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty joining him to fight the enemies.

Border 2 is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with JP Dutta's JP Films. The movie will hit the big screens ahead of Republic Day on January 23.

Respect for this mature response. The online negativity can be too much sometimes. Just hoping the film has the same patriotic soul as the first one. Excited to see Sunny Deol back in action!

Honestly, the trolling is often mindless. People were trolling the casting before even seeing a trailer. Let the movie release first, yaar. Then judge. Varun, Diljit, Sunny - solid combo.

While I appreciate his focus on work, saying "numbers don't concern me" feels a bit disingenuous for a big commercial film. Box office success *is* important for the industry and everyone involved. Hope it does well!

Perfect Republic Day release! The timing itself gives me goosebumps. Remember watching the first one with my father. Hope this one creates the same emotional impact for a new generation.

His mix of Hindi and English in the quote is so relatable 😄 "I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai." That's the spirit. Fingers crossed it's a good one!
