Sunny Deol to start shooting for his next film produced by A.R. Murugadoss, Farhan Akhtar

Sunny Deol begins shooting a new film produced by A.R. Murugadoss & Farhan Akhtar, following the box office success of 'Border 2'.

"The film is expected to go on floors from February 2026. - Report"

Mumbai, Jan 25

Bollywood actor Sunny Deol, who is receiving a lot of good response to his work in the recently released war film 'Border 2', is set to start shooting for his upcoming film next month. The film is co-produced by A.R. Murugadoss and Farhan Akhtar.

The yet-to-be-titled film will be helmed by Balaji Ganesh. On Sunday, the film's team gathered together for a puja. They also posed together for the pictures. In one of the images, Sunny, Jyotika, Balaji Ganesh and Riteish Sidhwani were seen sharing smiles. The film is expected to go on floors from February 2026.

Meanwhile, 'Border 2' has opened to a great response. The film, directed by Anurag Singh and co-written by Singh and Sumit Arora, serves as a standalone sequel to 'Border' directed by J. P. Dutta.

It was produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J. P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta under T-Series Films and J. P. Films. The ensemble cast includes Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, with additional roles by Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, and Medha Rana. The narrative expands beyond the original by depicting combined operations of the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war. Filming took place in multiple real defence locations including cantonments and naval bases to enhance authenticity.

'Border 2' was released on January 23, 2026, timed with the Republic Day weekend, and has seen strong box-office openings, with early earnings around INR 30 crore on day one and continued growth in its first days of theatrical run. The film has also sparked varied audience discussions regarding its visuals and storytelling.

The film touches upon the Battle of Basantar, one of the many campaigns in the India and Pakistan war of 1971.

Interesting mix of talent here. Murugadoss is known for high-concept action in the South, Farhan for his nuanced productions, and Sunny for raw power. Curious to see what genre Balaji Ganesh will tackle. Border 2's success definitely puts Sunny in a sweet spot.

Border 2 was a proper patriotic entertainer! The scenes with all three forces were so well done. Glad it's doing well at the box office. As for the new film, hope they don't just ride on the wave and deliver something fresh. Jyotika is a fantastic addition too!

Respectfully, while I enjoyed Border 2, I felt the emotional depth was missing compared to the original JP Dutta film. It was more of a spectacle. Hope Sunny's next with this new team focuses more on character-driven storytelling. The producer combo is elite, though.

️ Sunny Paaji is unstoppable! Border 2 ka collection dekh kar dil khush ho gaya. 30 crore opening is massive. This new project sounds like a pan-India blockbuster in the making. Murugadoss sir, please give us some signature high-octane action sequences!

Good to see the industry collaborations happening. South director, Bollywood stars and producers. This is the future of Indian cinema. Also, depicting the 1971 war and the bravery of our forces always resonates. Jai Hind!
