The unexpected success of Gadar 2: The Katha Continues is ample proof that Sunny Deol is the flavour of the season

So much so that a sequel to a superhit, much older than Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, is now on the cards. This time around, the makers of the 1997 blockbuster Border are planning another instalment. Over the last few years, veteran filmmaker JP Dutta and his producer daughter Nidhi have been discussing the possibility of taking off from their successful retelling of the Battle of Longewala during the 1971 India-Pakistan War. Only recently did things begin to fall into place. Never mind the coincidence, but the makers have decided to bring to the big screen another lesser-known story from the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Reportedly, talks with a studio are in advanced stages, and the makers are looking to finalise things so they can make an official announcement soon. Sunny will lead the Border sequel, which will also feature younger and newer actors joining his mission to defeat the enemy and emerge triumphant. Scripting is slated to begin soon after the paperwork with the studio is complete.
