Sunny Deol’s much-awaited war epic ‘Border 2’, co-starring Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, and Ahan Shetty, has taken a significant step forward ahead of its big-screen debut. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has officially cleared the movie’s first promotional teaser, setting the stage for its public reveal.As per industry buzz, the CBFC gave the green light on August 7 to the clip titled Date Announcement Teaser No. 1 – Border 2. Running for 1 minute and 10 seconds, the teaser has been given a U/A 16+ classification.The timing couldn’t be more symbolic, with the approval coming just before Independence Day. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Border 2 is a patriotic film, and what better time than August 15 to release its teaser? The teaser will give a glimpse of the film and its India vs Pakistan angle. At the same time, it’ll reiterate that the film is all set to release on January 23, 2026, as scheduled — that is, during the Republic Day week.”Once it’s launched, the teaser is expected to hit cinema screens nationwide, with multiplex chains likely pairing it with War 2, the much-hyped Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR actioner releasing on August 14, just around Independence day. The film is clashing with Rajikinanth’s ‘Coolie’ which also has Nagarjuna Akkineni and Aamir Khan. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. ‘Coolie’ is releasing in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and also in Hindi. Thus, this may give a tough competition to ‘War 2’ which is also releasing in multiple languages.
