Border And Dharmendra’s Connection
During the launch of the song ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’ at the Tanot frontier in Jaisalmer, Sunny Deol became visibly moved while discussing his tie to the original Border, as reported by ANI. Speaking to BSF jawans and the media, he explained that the 1997 film was actually inspired by his father Dharmendra’s 1964 war classic, Haqeeqat, which he said had a “profound impact” on him as a child.
Explaining his motivation, Deol shared that he always intended to create a film that mirrored the impact of his father’s work. “I did ‘Border’ because when I watched my father’s (Dharmendra) film ‘Haqeeqat’, I loved it deeply. I was a child then. So, when I became an actor, I decided to make a film similar to my father’s movie. I spoke to J.P. Dutta, and we decided to make a film on the Longewala subject, which is extremely close to our hearts and lives in the hearts of all of you,” he stated. He noted that he collaborated with J.P. Dutta to focus on the Battle of Longewala because the subject was deeply personal to him and held significant meaning for the soldiers in attendance.
