Mumbai: ‘Border 2’ makers unveiled the video of the first single ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’, a recreated version of ‘Sandese Aate Hai’, at Jaisalmer on Friday.
Remembering his late father Dharmendra at the song launch event, an emotional Sunny Deol said that he was inspired by the legend to do a war film like ‘Border’.
“Maine Border ki thi kyunki jab maine mere papa ki film Haqeeqat dekhi thi, woh mujhe bohot pyaari lagi thi aur main tab bohot chhota tha. Aur jab main actor bana, tab maine teh kiya ki main bhi papa jaisi ek film karunga. JP Dutta sahab ke saath maine baat ki aur hum dono ne decide kiya ki hum iss subject mein film banayenge jo bohot hi pyaara hai so aap sab ke dilo mein basa hua hai. Aur jab bhi main jahan bhi jaata hun, mujhe nahi pata tha, ki hum itne saare youth ko, itni confidence denge, unke liye iss tarah ka image banenge, ki woh picture dekhne ke baad fauj join karenge (I did Border because when I watched my father’s film ‘Haqeeqat’, I found it very touching, and I was very young at the time. When I became an actor, I decided that I too would make a film like my father’s. I spoke to JP Dutta, and together we decided to make a film on this subject, which is very dear and close to everyone’s hearts. And wherever I went, I never realized that we would give so many young people so much confidence, that we would create such an image for them that after watching the film, they would decide to join the army),” Sunny said.
He further shared, “Main jab bhi jahan bhi jaata hun, kitne fauji jab bhi milte hain mujhe yahi kehte hain ki humne aapki picture dekhne ke baad teh kiya ki hum bhi fauj mein jaayenge. Isliye main aap sab ke saath hun aur aapka parivaar hi hun. Main zyaada abhi kuchh aur keh nahi paaunga, kyunki thoda dimaag mera hila hua hai. Par ek baat zaroor kahunga, ki aawaz kahan tak pohonchni chahiye? Lahore tak!( Whenever I go anywhere, so many soldiers I meet tell me the same thing—that after watching my film, they decided to join the army. That’s why I stand with all of you, and I am part of your family. I can’t say much more right now, because my mind is a bit overwhelmed. But I will definitely say one thing: how far should our voice reach? All the way to Lahore.)”
