Border 2, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, is slated to release in theaters on January 23, 2026, coinciding with next year's Republic Day celebrations. The makers have now unveiled the first look of the Good Newwz actor, who is seen soaring high in the sky as an Air Force pilot.

Sharing the new look, Diljit wrote, “Iss Desh ke Aasmaan Mein Guru ke Baaz Pehra dete hain.” (In the skies of this nation, Guru's hawks stand guard). The actor is dressed in a pilot's uniform and is seen flying a jet that appears to be slightly damaged from battle.

Apart from the first-look poster, he also shared a video from the sets of Border 2. Reportedly, Dosanjh plays a character inspired by Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon.
