While adressing the BSF Jawans and the media at the song launch event, Sunny Deol remembered his father Dharmendra's war film 'Haqeeqat', saying that it had a "strong impact" on him as a child, which motivated him to make 'Border'.

"I did 'Border' because when I watched my father's (Dharmendra) film 'Haqeeqat', I loved it deeply. I was a child then. So, when I became an actor, I decided to make a film similar to my father's movie. I spoke to J.P. Dutta, and we decided to make a film on the Longewala subject, which is extremely close to our hearts and lives in the hearts of all of you," said Sunny Deol.

Sunny Deol reflected on the film Border's impact on youth, saying he never imagined it would inspire young people to join the armed forces.

It's incredible to hear how art inspires real-life choices. The fact that young people joined the armed forces after watching Border speaks volumes about the film's power. The new song launch at the border itself must have been an emotionally charged event.

Respectfully, while I appreciate the sentiment, I hope Border 2 focuses more on authentic storytelling and less on just being a patriotic spectacle. The original was perfect because it felt real. The cast looks promising though, especially with Diljit Dosanjh.

"Ghar Kab Aaoge" already has me emotional! 🥺 Releasing the song at Longewala with BSF jawans present is such a powerful tribute. Our soldiers are the real heroes. Jai Hind!

Sunny Deol's honesty is refreshing. Not many stars admit their inspirations so openly. The Deol family has given us so many iconic films. Border 2 has big shoes to fill, but with this team, I'm hopeful. All the best to the entire crew!

The cross-generational impact of cinema is fascinating. A father's film inspires a son, which then inspires a nation's youth. It shows how stories about valor and sacrifice transcend time. Looking forward to seeing this in theaters.
