JP Dutta, Sunny Deol, Bharat Shah
Sunny Deol’s film ‘Border’ has a huge fan following. In such a situation, ever since actor Sunny Deol announced his sequel ‘Border 2′, fans’ happiness knows no bounds. However, now the film ‘Border 2’ may face trouble. Bharat Shah, the producer of the film ‘Border’, has issued a notice against JP Dutta. The notice said that they have the full rights of the first film ‘Border’. Now if the rights of that film are with India then it will be difficult to make its sequel with the same name and package it in the name of the old film.
This notice has been issued by Shah in the September 7-14, 2024 edition of Complete Cinema magazine. It has been issued by Advocate Ajay Khatlawala, Partner, Little & Company. The notice said that an agreement was signed between the two on November 21, 1994, which stipulated that the profits of ‘Border’ would be shared half. Bharat Shah says that JP Dutta did not give him a single rupee of profit after the success of his first film. Apart from this, he was not informed about the earnings of the film.

The notice said that Bharat Shah had approached the court in this regard in 2012. The case has been transferred from the Bombay High Court to the Civil Court. Apart from this, he also filed a complaint against director JP Dutta in the Indian Film and TV Producers Council in 2014. Bharat alleges that Dutta did not accept a single condition of the agreement between the two. Through the notice, Bharath has also warned those who will be part of his sequel and any kind of deal. The notice said that whoever is going to do any deal related to the ‘border’ with JP, should do so at his own risk as the case against him is already in court.
Anurag Singh is directing ‘Border 2’ and JP Dutta is co-producing it. Sunny Deol is in the lead role in this film. ‘Border 2’ will also feature Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dozans. The film will hit the big screen in the year 2026 i.e. 29 years after the release of ‘Border’. The film Border was released in the year 1997, with many actors like Akshay Khanna, Sunil Shetty and Jackie Shroff in important roles, apart from Sunny Deol. Sunny Deol played the role of Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri in Border. In such a situation, he will once again be seen in ‘Border 2’ in the same role.
