In a wave of pride and emotion, actor Paramvir Singh Cheema has stepped into the monumental world of the upcoming war drama 'Border 2'. The actor, who will be portraying the character of Subedar Nishaan Singh, recently opened up about the profound significance of this opportunity, especially for his family.
A Father's Command Seals the Deal
Cheema's journey to the film is marked by a deeply personal moment. The actor took to social media to share a heartfelt anecdote about his father's reaction upon hearing the news of his selection. "When I told my father that I got shortlisted for Border 2, he said, 'Eh Taan Krni He Hai' (You have to do this)," Cheema wrote. He described the overwhelming joy that spread through his entire family and friend circle, dedicating this career milestone to them.
Embracing an Iconic Legacy
For Cheema, being cast in 'Border 2' is far more than just another acting job. He expressed a sense of awe at becoming a part of the storied 'Border' legacy, a feeling he described as surreal. On his Instagram post, he reflected on the unexpected turn of his career path, stating he never imagined he would one day be on the sets of 'Border', singing its iconic anthem 'Sandese Aate Hai' and performing alongside stalwarts like Sunny Deol.
The actor reserved special gratitude for the film's director, Anurag Singh. Cheema thanked Singh for his faith and guidance, revealing that their working relationship blossomed into a bond of brotherhood. "Working with you was so easy as an actor. I used to discuss a lot of things with you about crafts, family, work, and life and found a big brother in you," he wrote, acknowledging the director's role in making him a part of the iconic project.
Music Launch Evokes Patriotism and Memories
The excitement for 'Border 2' is already building, with its music beginning to resonate with audiences. The makers recently organized a poignant launch for the song 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' at an amphitheater near the revered Tanot Mata Temple in Jaisalmer. The event saw the presence of lead star Sunny Deol, along with Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty, and the film's producers.
Sunny Deol, whose role in the original 1997 film 'Border' is legendary, shared an emotional connection with the theme. Addressing Border Security Force (BSF) soldiers present, he said, "Ever since I did Border... I have been a part of your family." He traced his inspiration back to his father, Dharmendra's war film 'Haqeeqat', which he loved deeply as a child, cementing the multi-generational impact of such stories.
As the cast and crew continue their work, co-star Sonam Bajwa also added a light-hearted note, praising Diljit Dosanjh for his down-to-earth demeanor on set, never behaving like a 'global star'. The film is shaping up to be a significant cinematic event, blending intense patriotism with powerful personal stories.
