by

Border, a classic movie, features Suniel Shetty in a memorable role as Bhairav Singh Rathod, directed by JP Dutta. However, it’s interesting to note that the actor initially turned down the opportunity to join the 1997 war film.

Suniel Shetty recently opened up to Radio Nasha about his decision to pass on the film “Border”. He revealed that rumors within the industry portrayed director JP Dutta as a stern individual who wasn’t afraid to use profanity when upset. The actor from Hera Pheri explained this point.

When Dutta visited Shetty, the actor expressed he’d get in touch later. But swiftly, Shetty informed his assistant that he wouldn’t participate in Dutta’s film production.

In response to being provoked, the actor from Main Hoon Na explained, “If someone uses abusive language towards me, I would respond in kind by retaliating. To avoid damaging any relationships, however, I prefer not to react aggressively.

As a lifestyle expert, I found myself firmly persuaded by the director to cast Suniel Shetty in the role of Bhairav Singh Rathod. In my pursuit to make this happen, I reached out to someone who was acquainted with his mother-in-law. Eventually, when the opportunity presented itself and she discussed the movie project with him, he was unable to resist.

Nevertheless, the actor from Dhadkan made a stipulation about joining the classic production. Shetty mentioned that if any issues arose between him and JP Dutta, he would withdraw from the film. Fortunately, such situations didn’t occur, and the actor and director developed an excellent rapport, bonding “as if a house was burning.

Moving onto Suniel Shetty’s upcoming projects, he will appear in Hera Pheri 3, a comedy film directed by Priyadarshan. This anticipated movie will feature Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal reprising their roles as Raju and Babu Bhaiya respectively. According to TopMob’s exclusive report, the film is expected to start production in December 2025.
