"This film is a dream I’ve seen with my father, and there’s no greater joy than seeing it come alive—even if that means juggling production schedules with baby kicks! – Nidhi Dutta"

Producer Nidhi Dutta, who is in the final trimester of her pregnancy, has opened up about balancing motherhood while working on the sets of “Border 2”, a dream she has seen with her renowned filmmaker father J.P. Dutta. She added that she might be heading straight from the sets into delivery.

Currently in its third shoot schedule in Pune, Nidhi, who is expecting her first born, has been attending crucial production meetings and staying actively involved on set ensuring every aspect of the film lives up to the legacy of the original.

Nidhi told IANS: “This film is a dream I’ve seen with my father, and there’s no greater joy than seeing it come alive—even if that means juggling production schedules with baby kicks!”

She said her team has been incredibly supportive, and “this journey feels even more special with two heartbeats invested in it.”

“I’m due anytime soon so it looks like I’ll be going into delivery straight from the sets,” added the producer.

What an inspiring story! Nidhi Dutta is showing how Indian women can balance career and motherhood with grace. The original Border was iconic, and I'm excited to see how this sequel honors our soldiers' sacrifices. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Hope the film does justice to the Kargil War. The first Border was emotional and patriotic. Nidhi's dedication is commendable, but I hope she's not overworking herself in this condition. Health comes first, beta.

Sunny Deol is back! After Gadar 2 success, Border 2 will be another blockbuster. Nidhi's story is inspiring but I'm more interested in how they'll show Pakistan's role in Kargil. Hope they don't soften the facts for diplomacy.

As someone who struggled with infertility, Nidhi's openness about her journey gives hope to so many women. More power to her! 👏 And shooting at NDA Pune - what a perfect location for a patriotic film like this.

The cast looks promising but I hope they focus more on realism than star power. Kargil War deserves authentic portrayal, not just heroism. Nidhi's passion is evident though - may she have safe delivery and successful film!

So proud to see women producers taking charge in Bollywood! Nidhi's balancing act is incredible 🤰🎬 But please don't release on Republic Day just for patriotism points - make it good throughout the year!
