Sunny Deol tears up as he narrates emotional deleted scene from Border: ‘All my fallen brothers…’

Asked if he has a favourite scene from Border, the actor said, “There was a scene that didn’t make it to the final cut. It was a lovely scene. JP Dutta’s father had written it. It’s right at the end of the film, and I’m at the small temple. I look back and see that there’s firelight coming from the bunker that had been destroyed. I go over, and I see all of my fallen soldiers, sitting around the fire together. I talk to them, reassure them that I’ll take care of their families, I’ll fix the broken roof of their home, I’ll talk to their mothers. To me, it’s like they are there. I tell them that they are in heaven now, and there’s no fighting in heaven…” At this point, Sunny teared up. Wiping away his tears, he said that the scene had to be cut for length reasons.

Sunny said that Border 2 was actually being planned several years ago, but the project fell through when his films began underperforming at the box office. “We wanted to do this even earlier. I remember in 2015… But then my films didn’t work. So log ghabra ke nahi banana chah rahe the (People were scared to make it). Now everyone wants to make that!” he said.

Reflecting on the success of Gadar 2, which is nearing the Rs 500 crore mark at the domestic box office, Sunny teared up again. He said that he is very grateful to his fans for the kind of support that they’ve shown him. Recently, the film’s director, Anil Sharma, revealed in an interview that he spoke to Sunny over the phone on the day of the film’s release, and that they all wept together as they celebrated the success.
