Varun Dhawan’s Bold New Look In Border 2

For years, Varun Dhawan has tried to follow the fun, goofy hero style once popularised by Govinda and 90s Salman Khan. He even did remakes of some of their films. But interestingly, Varun’s strongest performances have come when he dropped the comedy and played deeper, serious roles — like in Badlapur and October.

Varun’s First Look in Border 2

In recent years, Varun has shifted toward action films. Bhediya worked well for him, while Baby John didn’t. But Border 2 might take his image to a whole new level if things go right.

The first poster of Border 2 shows Varun as a tough soldier — an “angry young man.” He’s holding a gun, running into battle, shouting fiercely. This is a very different side of him, far from his usual comedy roles in films like JugJugg Jeeyo.

Mixed Reactions From the Audience

Fans are excited to see Varun in such a powerful avatar. Some neutral viewers are unsure, but everyone agrees it’s a bold move. One fan said that Varun has huge potential and should take on more serious roles instead of comedies, praising his work in Badlapur and Bhediya.

Another viewer believes Varun can shine in this role because it’s new for him and shows his range. Even Reddit, which is often critical, had positive comments saying he might actually be very good in this film.

Badlapur already proved that Varun can handle intense characters. Now, people are waiting to see if director Anurag Singh can bring out the best in him in Border 2. The poster definitely looks promising.

Cast and Release

Border 2 features Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty alongside Varun Dhawan.
The film will hit theatres before Republic Day 2026.
