The Border 2 song launch at Longewala–Tanot honoured Indian soldiers while reviving the emotional legacy of the iconic war film
The makers of Border 2 launched the emotional song ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’ on January 2, 2026, at the historic Longewala–Tanot sector in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Notably, this iconic location played a crucial role during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War, and therefore, it added profound emotional depth to the song’s launch. Rather than remaining a routine film promotion, the event evolved into a moving tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of Indian soldiers.
Soldiers and Film Team Come Together for the Event
Meanwhile, soldiers and the film team came together, creating a powerful and unforgettable atmosphere. The presence of BSF jawans, Indian Army personnel, and the cast and crew of Border 2 filled the desert landscape with patriotism and pride. As a result, the historic battlefield transformed into a living symbol of unity, honour, and national strength.
Star Cast Shares Emotional Moments With Jawans
Furthermore, the star cast shared heartfelt moments with the jawans, making the occasion even more special. Actors Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, along with singer Sonu Nigam and producer Bhushan Kumar, attended the launch. The stars interacted warmly with the soldiers and were also seen dancing with BSF jawans to the song. Consequently, these moments created an emotional yet joyful bond between cinema and the armed forces.
Most importantly, Sunny Deol became visibly emotional during the event. While addressing the gathering, he spoke about his deep personal connection to the Border franchise. He revealed that his late father Dharmendra’s iconic film Haqeeqat inspired him to be a part of Border and now Border 2. As a result, the song launch turned into a deeply meaningful moment, blending personal memories with national pride.
