Filmmaker Bhushan Kumar is currently basking in the success of Border 2, his recent production that has earned ₹167 crore gross worldwide in its first three days. In fact, Bhushan says the love for the franchise shows that Border 3 should definitely happen. The filmmaker revealed this exclusive scoop to HT in a recent interaction.

Border 3 will definitely happen, but in due course

In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, director Anurag Singh and Bhushan reveal they were collaborating on a different film before Border 2 happened, and now they will get it back on track. “We are doing a joint venture with his company and my company. He’ll be directing, and it will be something new. Border 3 will happen in due course,” says Bhushan.

Does that mean Border 3 is greenlit? “Obviously, it is such a big franchise,” says Bhushan, “If you bring something back after almost 30 years and it is getting so much love, we will definitely take it forward.”

Border 3 will be a collaboration between Bhushan's T-Series and JP Dutta and Nidhi Dutta's production house, JP Films. The film's director has not been finalised yet.

Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Singh to collaborate again

However, Bhushan adds that the threequel is not going on floors immediately. Before that is a project with Anurag Singh. “We will continue what we were discussing even before Border 2 came into the picture. Now is the time for that. The next film will be on those lines,” he clarifies.

About Border 2

Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh, is a spiritual sequel to JP Dutta’s 1997 hit Border. The film stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. It released in theatres on January 23 ahead of Republic Day and is doing very well at the box office.
