As soon as the teaser of Sunny Deol’s ‘Border 2’ came, many things were felt and some things were also not felt. Because this time apart from Sunny Paaji, the old team which was the real USP of the film will not be there. It seems as if the heart also got stuck in the midst of the changing story and characters. Well, life has to go on. Sunny Deol’s Border 2 is coming on 23rd January next year. Before which, in the 2 minute teaser, all the soldiers were seen in the field. But today we will talk about those two soldiers of 1997 Border, who have now become dreaded villains. In the year 2024-2025, these two have given a tough time to the hero.
The year was 1997, when the film ‘Border’ was released. Made on a budget of Rs 10 crore, the film grossed Rs 66.70 crore. Expectations are high from this sequel. Will Sunny Paaji be able to cross the Rs 1000 crore mark? This is everyone’s question. However, in the first ‘Border’, Sunny Deol’s team included Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty, Akshaye Khanna, Sudesh Berry and Puneet Issar. They fought against Pakistan on the battlefield, won and also won the hearts of the people. But instead of playing a soldier, they are creating more ruckus as villains. Know who they are?
The army villain of ‘Border’ is making waves.
The villain everyone is talking about right now is Akshaye Khanna, who has been in the spotlight since the beginning of 2025. In fact, Akshaye Khanna also worked in Sunny Deol’s “Border.” He played Second Lieutenant Dharamveer Singh Bhan in Sunny Deol’s film, for which he received considerable praise. On the other hand, there was Wing Commander Andy Bajwa, a role played by Jackie Shroff. Now, Akshaye Khanna and Jackie Shroff are making waves as villains. Not only in 2024, but in 2025 as well, they have impressed everyone with their performances.
Jackie Shroff
1. Singham Again: Ajay Devgn’s film “Singham Again” was released on Diwali 2024, clashing with Kartik Aaryan’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.” Jackie Shroff played Omar Hafiz in this film, which didn’t perform well in terms of earnings. However, the scene where Ajay Devgn and Jackie Shroff clashed was a blockbuster. Even at the age of 68, Jackie Shroff is still a force to be reckoned with.
2. Baby John: This Varun Dhawan film released in December 2024. Although it flopped badly at the box office, Jackie Shroff surprised everyone as the lion king (Nanaji). He confronts Varun Dhawan to save his son, causing a lot of bloodshed. However, the collections of both films were not impressive.
Akshaye Khanna
1. Chava: Vicky Kaushal’s “Chava” was released earlier this year, grossing over ₹800 crore at the box office. Akshay Khanna’s entry as Aurangzeb was unrecognizable. But his performance won everyone’s hearts. The actor gave Vicky Kaushal, who played Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, a tough competition. This cameo was the best, and everyone was talking about it.
2. Dhurandhar: Aditya Dhar’s “Dhurandhar” continues to earn big money. After 13 days, the film has crossed ₹400 crore in India. However, Akshay Khanna’s performance as the dacoit Rehman in “Dhurandhar” has captured everyone’s attention. Not only his acting, but his style and dancing are also being widely appreciated. Ranveer Singh is starring as the lead in the film. However, even the fierce performances of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal pale in comparison to Akshay Khanna.
