Overview

  • Bollywood Hungama is reporting a runtime of about 200 minutes, with the final duration to be locked after censor board clearance.
  • Varun Dhawan said in an AMA that he injured his tailbone during the Battle of Basantar shoot and worked 40 days in Babina with real soldiers.
  • He described his role as inspired by Param Vir Chakra recipient Hoshiar Singh Dahiya and praised Sunny Deol as a "one man army" in a tri-services ensemble.
  • Producer Nidhi Dutta stated the film aims to honor soldiers’ stories rather than compete with J. P. Dutta’s 1997 Border.
  • Responding to a fan about a Pakistan release, Dhawan offered no confirmation and noted the film is based on the 1971 war and that Sunny Deol has fans there.
