So this actor is going full method for a new war movie. Varun Dhawan is transforming for his role in Border 2, where he’s playing a character based on a real guy, Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. It’s being directed by Anurag Singh, with Bhushan Kumar and others producing.
Dhawan said the part required serious physical and mental changes. They filmed in actual places like Babina, which he said forced him into a soldier’s headspace. His training focused on practical strength, endurance, and mobility to handle rough terrain and weather. His diet shifted to basic high-protein meals with good carbs and tons of water, all aimed at lasting through long days on location rather than just aesthetics.
The movie’s teaser is already getting attention, with a planned theater release in late January 2026.
