Ahan Shetty Promises To Keep Up Father Suniel Shetty’s Legacy
Taking his Instagram handle Ahan announced the news of him being part of Border 2. “Border is more than a film—it’s a legacy, an emotion, and a dream come true. Ironic how life works—my journey with Border started 29 years ago, when mom visited dad on set while pregnant with me. I grew up hearing OP Dutta’s legendary stories, holding JP uncle’s hand, and sitting by @nidhiduttaofficial side. I never realized how much those moments would shape my love for cinema and the Indian Armed Forces,” wrote the actor.
Expressing gratitude, Ahan added, “Now, being part of Border 2 is an absolute honour. JP uncle, thank you for continuing to hold my hand, I hope to make you very very proud. Nidhi, your hard work brought this dream to life, thank you for all that you are and do. Bhushan Sir, thank you for trusting me with this opportunity, I’m eternally grateful. @anurag_singh_films sir, I’m excited to work under your guidance. Working with @iamsunnydeol sir is a blessing, and I can’t wait to share the screen with @varundvn who I look up to as an older brother. As a huge @diljitdosanjh fan, sharing the screen with him is surreal.”
“And to you, Papa—everything I am is because of you, and I’ll do my best to honor the legacy you’ve worked so hard to create,” Shetty concluded.
The release date of Border 2 is set for January 23, 2026. The creators have proclaimed it “India’s biggest war film”.
About his career, Ahan debuted in Bollywood in 2021 in Tadap, which was a remake of the Telugu action movie RX 100, costarring Tara Sutaria. He had Sanki with Pooja Hegde after that. The movie will open in theaters on February 14, 2025.
