And hence, Border 2 is said to recap the events from the perspectives of all the three wings of the Indian Armed Forces.

This is indeed a huge bit on information but there isn’t much else in terms of information that is revealed yet. It is also reported that while the original Border was a JP Dutta classic, Border 2 will be written and produced by none other than the legend’s daughter, Nidhi Dutta.
