Varun dropped photos of all the bravehearts who lost their lives in Operation Sindoor- Jawan Murali Naik, BSF SI Md Imteyaz, Gunner Dinesh Sharma, Sepoy Sachin Yadav, Airman Kamal Kamboj, Sepoy Amit Chaudhary, IAF Sergeant Surendra Mogra, and Sepoy Suraj Yadav.

Briefing the media on Sunday, the Indian Armed Forces said, "I pay my solemn homage to my five fallen colleagues and brothers from the armed forces and civilians who have tragically lost their lives in Operation Sindoor."

On the work front, the reports claim that Varun will play the role of the Param Vir Chakra awardee Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya in "Border 2", who displayed immense courage during the Indo-Pak war, 1971. However, nothing has been announced yet.

Helmed by Anurag Singh, the project will feature Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in key roles.

"Border 2", which is a sequel to the 1997 war drama "Border" is expected to be inspired by the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan.

At the moment, Varun is busy filming for father David Dhawan's "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai".

Produced by Ramesh Taurani under the TIPS banner, the film will have an ensemble cast with Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday, Pooja Hegde, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela.

For the unaware, "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" is a song from David's 1999 film "Biwi No 1", featuring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen.

Additionally, Varun will be reuniting with his 'Bawaal' co-star Janhvi Kapoor in Shashank Khaitan's “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari."

These two will be accompanied by Sanya Malhotra, Abhinav Sharma, Maniesh Paul, and Manini Chadha in the cast.

Salute to all the bravehearts who sacrificed their lives for our nation 🇮🇳. Varun Dhawan's tribute is touching, but I hope Bollywood also focuses more on making meaningful films about our real heroes rather than just commercial masala movies. #Respect

Emotional moment indeed! Our soldiers are the true stars of India. Looking forward to Border 2 - hope they do justice to the sacrifices made during Kargil War. Jai Hind! 🙏

While I appreciate Varun's gesture, sometimes these celebrity tributes feel performative. What we need is sustained attention to soldiers' welfare and their families' well-being, not just Instagram stories.

The original Border movie still gives me goosebumps! If the sequel is about Kargil, it better have the same patriotic spirit without unnecessary drama. And yes, we must never forget our martyrs ❤️

Operation Sindoor was one of the toughest missions our forces undertook. Glad to see mainstream actors acknowledging our soldiers' sacrifices. But let's also remember - real heroes don't need validation from Bollywood.

Heartbreaking to see so many young lives lost 😢 We civilians enjoy our freedom because of their sacrifice. Hope Border 2 educates the younger generation about our military history.
