Actor Suniel Shetty voiced his anger at those who’ve allegedly spread negativity about his son, Ahan, in the press. He said that he will expose each and every person responsible for these negative campaigns, and threatened to hold a press conference where he will reveal their names publicly. He said that Ahan has been accused of having a large entourage by individuals who are upset that he chose to do Border 2 instead of their film. He also said that Ahan was replaced in projects because of these negative reports. Ahan is working on Border 2, a sequel to the iconic original war movie, in which Suniel played a memorable role.

In an interview with Zoom Entertainment, he said that he has advised Ahan to treat Border 2 like his final film. He said that the movie will probably be rewatched for years and years on important occasions such as Independence Day and Republic Day, and that it’s important for Ahan to put his best foot forward. Suniel also said that Ahan had numerous offers on the table, but chose to do Border 2 because of his love for the nation and the family’s connection to the series.

He said, “I told him that this movie will keep him alive (in the minds of the audience) for decades to come, like the first Border has kept me alive. Ahan let go of a lot of opportunities because of this film; he missed out on a lot because of the ego of others. He was thrown out of those films, and he was blamed for it in the press. They said that he has a 10-person entourage; people paid lots of money to get negative articles written about him. Do you think I don’t have connections? Do you think I can’t do the same thing?”

He continued, “I still pay for my own food. I spend my own money to this day, not the producer’s. And that’s how Ahan has been raised. I’ve never spoken about this, but I’ll say this now. All this negativity was orchestrated because Ahan wanted to do Border 2, and people wanted their films to take off and not Border 2. If this continues, I will hold a press conference and expose each and every person’s name. Jiski dhajjiyan udani hain, uda dunga. That child’s obsession is Border.”

Ahan made his acting debut with the film Tadap, which was released in 2021. The film was directed by Milan Luthria, and made over Rs 30 crore at the box office. Border 2 is his second movie, and it will release in 2026, five years after Tadap. Border 2 is headlined by Sunnny Deol, and also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and others. Suniel Shetty will be seen in the film Kesari Veer on Friday.
