The long-awaited war drama Border 2, starring an ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, is underway with its third schedule of shooting at the National Defence Academy (NDA), Pune. The location has been converted into an energetic battlefield scene, filled with power, discipline, and brotherhood.
Varun’s Viral Moment with Army Cadets
A behind-the-scenes clip with Varun Dhawan has gone viral, depicting the actor indulging in an off-the-cuff push-up challenge with actual army cadets. What was initially a 20-push-up challenge turned into a friendly competition, where in no time, Varun found himself doing 50 knuckle push-ups and 30–40 cadets. His youthful vigor and playful competitiveness elicited cheers from not only the film crew but also the cadets. Uploading the clip on social media, Varun captioned it: “BORDER2 Hamare saare young cadets ke saath knuckle challenge.”
