One of the standout moments features Sunny Deol’s character urging his troops to raise slogans so powerful that they echo all the way to Lahore. The teaser then escalates with dramatic visuals of air strikes, ground combat and, notably, naval warfare — a relatively rare spectacle in mainstream Hindi films. As the teaser draws to a close, the familiar strains of Hindustan Meri Jaan from the original film play in the background, with the title Border 2 flashing on screen.

The teaser dropped on December 16, marking the 44th Vijay Diwas, commemorating India’s victory in the 1971 war. Leading up to the release, the makers had steadily built anticipation by unveiling individual character posters of Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, culminating in a group poster featuring all four protagonists.
