Border 2’s music coup: Diljit Dosanjh joins Sonu Nigam & Arijit Singh for the legendary Sandese Aate Hai rebirth

In what is already being called one of the most ambitious musical collaborations in recent memory, the makers of Border 2 are gearing up to unveil a recreated version of the iconic patriotic anthem ‘Sandese Aate Hai’. The new rendition brings together two of India’s most powerful contemporary voices Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh and is being positioned for a worldwide launch. While the reunion of Sonu and Arijit is creating massive anticipation, industry chatter suggests that the big surprise is the addition of two more singers, with one of them almost certainly being Diljit Dosanjh. His involvement has already become a key talking point in trade circles, especially with his expanding presence in major Hindi film productions. A senior industry insider, speaking to Bollywood Hungama, said, “The team wanted a voice that bridges authenticity and modern appeal that’s where Diljit fits in effortlessly. He adds a distinct emotional texture to the track. With Sonu bringing legacy and Arijit bringing contemporary depth, this combination is unlike anything we’ve heard in a patriotic film in years.”The recreation is being treated as a prestige project, with the makers reportedly planning a large-scale promotional rollout to match the legacy of the original song. The track is expected to serve as a centrepiece of Border 2, which marks the return of Sunny Deol to one of the most defining cinematic spaces of his career. Alongside Deol, the film boasts an ensemble featuring Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Suniel Shetty, and Tiger Shroff, setting the stage for a multi-generational war drama. Fans can also look forward to an exclusive glimpse of the OG Border star power, with Sunny Deol once again leading the charge in this sweeping patriotic narrative. With the combination of star vocalists, a massive cast, and one of India’s most emotionally resonant songs being revived for a new generation, Border 2 is shaping up to be a major cinematic event. The team is said to be preparing for a thunderous nationwide and global response once the track is released.

EXCLUSIVE: Dhurandhar makers opt for a low-key promotion strategy; Ranveer Singh to keep a low profile before release

The much-awaited trailer of Dhurandhar was launched in a grand event held at Mumbai’s iconic Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. The event was graced not just by the film’s team and members of the media but also by nearly 2000 fans of lead actor Ranveer Singh. This has led to expectations among his admirers that Ranveer and others in the star cast, namely R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, will come out again for promotions in the days to come. However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that it’s not going to happen and there’s a solid reason behind this decision. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers of the film, Jio Studios and B62 Studios, have decided to opt for a low-key promotional strategy. This means that Ranveer Singh would avoid appearances on TV shows. He won’t be going for any more big-scale events or promotional city tours and interviews either.”The source continued, “Ranveer Singh agreed with this decision and he wanted the same strategy as well. He had become overexposed during Cirkus (2022) and a few of his previous films. Hence, he wants to avoid that mistake and let the work do the talking. Thankfully, the film is quite garam the teaser got viewers excited and the trailer has further enhanced the hype. After the release, they might decide to open up to the media.”An industry insider commented, “Sometimes, less is more. In recent times, we saw the no-promotional decision worked wonders for Saiyaara. Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat makers, too, remained absent from promotions and spoke about the film and went on a roadshow only after the film’s release. When you have the backing of impactful assets, this promotional tactic can work wonders.”Dhurandhar also stars Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna. It releases in cinemas on December 5. Blast from the pastIn January 2023, trade veteran Taran Adarsh, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, decoded what was going wrong with Ranveer Singh as far as his box office pull was concerned and why his contemporary Ranbir Kapoor was a bigger draw at the box office. He told Bollywood Hungama, “Ranbir Kapoor ki strategy ko main daad dena chahoonga. He is one actor who is not overexposed. Agar aap dekhenge toh har actor aaj ki tareekh mein apne airport looks de raha hai, ya release ke baad social media pe zinda rehne ki koshish karta hai. Lekin inhonein Brahmastra (2022) ke baad koi public outing mein zyada nazar nahin aate. This is what I like about Ranbir Kapoor and which is lacking in Ranveer Singh.”He continued, “Ranveer Singh ko aap har doosre din dekh rahe hain kisi ad mein, kisi photo session mein, alag-alag events mein jaa rahe hain. And then unki film aati hai and there is no excitement left. 70s and 80s ke actors ne apne kaam ko kahaa ki woh baat karega. Aaj ki tareekh mein aap itna overexpose ho gaye hain ki you are going wrong drastically. I think you need to cut down on your public appearances. That’s a big takeaway from 2022.”Also Read: Arjun Rampal credits Aditya Dhar for his ‘Angel of Death’ avatar in Dhurandhar; says, “Thanks to him for making us look so different and unrecognizable on screen”.

Aamir Khan-Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore 1947 to finally release with a changed title? The director says, “I am not in favour of this kind of appeasement”

What is happening with the ambitious Rajkumar Santoshi historical Lahore 1947? Multiple release dates for Santoshi’s film, an adaptation of Asghar Wajahat’s play Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamyai Ni, have been announced. Aamir Khan, who produces the film, told this writer that he wanted to release Lahore 1947 after Sitaare Zameen Par. That too has come and gone. The latest on Lahore 1947 is that it will release with a new title, as we really can’t have an Indian film with the title taken from a city of Pakistan. Not in the present day political scenario. Now, speaking exclusively to this writer, Santoshi said, “You have to ask my producer Aamir Khan when Lahore 1947 is releasing. As for changing the title, I am totally against it. Of course, it is the producer’s call. But I am not in favour of this kind of appeasement. I’ve waited for almost twenty years to make this film. You could call it my dream project. What is meant to be is meant to be. I was destined to make it with Sunny (Deol). And he is perfect in his part. He brings an arresting fusion of the classic and contemporary to the screen. My past films with Sunny, Ghayal and Ghatak, have been landmarks in his career, and mine too. And now I am confident Lahore 1947 will have the same impact.”Santoshi also got to work with Shabana for the first time. “She has stunned audiences for fifty years. Just when we think there is nothing more for her to do, she comes up with another career-defining performance in Lahore 1947. Believe me, there won’t be a dry eye in the audience after watching her in my film. She is in many ways the central character of the film. And she had all of us enthralled. Not just as an actress but a human being. I can’t wait to work with her again.”Also Read: Will Aamir Khan now release Rajkumar Santoshi’s Indo-Pak partition film Lahore 1947?.
