Actor Varun Dhawan shared an energetic moment with National Defence Academy (NDA) cadets during the shooting of the upcoming war drama Border 2, taking on a 50 push-ups challenge at the iconic military training institution in Pune.
The behind-the-scenes video, posted on Dhawan’s Instagram, shows the actor in a white T-shirt and trousers, doing knuckle push-ups alongside enthusiastic cadets during a break in the shoot. The cadets, matching Dhawan rep for rep, showcased their grit and spirit as senior officers and crew members cheered them on.
Dhawan captioned the post, “BORDER 2, Hamare saare young cadets ke saath knuckle challenge,” celebrating the camaraderie on set and the motivation shared by the real-life future Army officers.
The Pune schedule marks a significant phase in the production of Border 2, the sequel to the 1997 cult classic Border. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film stars Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, and Varun Dhawan, and is backed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta.
Presented by T-Series and JP Films, Border 2 is expected to deliver a powerful blend of action, patriotism, and emotion, capturing the essence of the armed forces and their sacrifices. The film is currently being shot at various defence locations, with the NDA providing an authentic backdrop for key scenes.
