KL Rahul joins viral 'Border 2' trend to showcase support for his brother-in-law Ahan Shetty

Mumbai, January 20

Cricketer KL Rahul has joined the viral 'Border 2' trend to highlight his support for his brother-in-law and actor Ahan Shetty.

Taking to his Instagram handle, KL Rahul shared a video in which he was seen practising on the cricket field with the text "Agar Ahan Shetty ne iss video par comment kiya, toh main Border 2 do baar dekhunga (If Ahan Shetty comments on this video, then I will watch Border 2 two times)" written on it.

"Awaaz pahochni chahiye," wrote KL Rahul.

The reel immediately grabbed attention, leaving Ahan, his father Suniel Shetty, and sister Athiya Shetty in splits.

Ahan also replied to his Reel by dropping a hilarious comment that stole the show, writing "Bhai, do baar nahi, chaar baar dekhna padega! (Brother.. Not twice, have to watch it four times!)"

Ahan Shetty carries forward his father Suniel Shetty's iconic legacy in 'Border 2', directed by Anurag Singh.

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

"Inspired by the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan War", the trailer opens the door to the powerful world of Border 2 and what happens when India's Army, Navy, and Air Force come together to fight as one.

'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.

Ahan's reply is hilarious! "Chaar baar dekhna padega" 😂. Good to see the camaraderie. Hope the movie lives up to the original Border's legacy.

Respectfully, while the banter is fun, I hope the focus remains on the film's subject—the 1971 war and our brave soldiers. The marketing should honor that gravity.

Smart marketing move! Using a cricketer's reach to promote a film. The cast looks powerful. Excited to see Sunny Deol back in an iconic role.

Perfect Republic Day release. Films like these remind us of the sacrifices made for the nation. Jai Hind! Already booked my tickets for the first day.

Athiya must be so proud of both her husband and brother! Such a sweet family moment. Hope Ahan's performance is a hit.
