Sunil Shetty candidly shared a rare decision he took regarding the blockbuster hit drama, Border 2.

During his latest chat, the veteran star revealed that he had promised himself that he would only see the film once it crossed the ₹500 crore mark.

Speaking to ABP News, the actor said, “I had decided long ago that since this is a patriotic film, it should collect ₹500 crore before I watch it. It’s almost there – ₹489 crore so far. I’m sure it will cross it soon.”

Admitting that it wasn’t easy resisting the urge to watch, he explained, “There were times I wanted to go in, but I held back. I even stood outside the theatre once, just listening to Ahan’s dialogues, seeing if they felt right.”

However, the Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh and jointly produced by T-Series and JP Films, follows the legacy of JP Dutta’s 1997 hit Border. It is once again set during the 1971 India-Pakistan war, focusing on the Battle of Longewala.

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film has earned ₹327 crore net in India and ₹447 crore worldwide after five weeks in theatres.
