The much-awaited war-drama Border 2 will be released in theaters on January 23, 2026. Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 is a multi star cast movie that is inspired by true events of 1971 India-Pakistan War. It features Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, Paramvir Singh Cheema, Varun Dhawan, Sonam Bajwa, Ahan Shetty, and more in the key roles.
Notably, Border 2 has a very big connection with Punjab. Apart from multiple scenes being shot in Punjab, it also features actor Paramvir Singh Cheema from Jalandhar in a key role.
Paramvir Singh Cheema plays the character of Subedar Nishaan Singh in Border 2. Now, the question arises whether the character of Subedar Nishaan Singh is inspired by real Subedar or not.
According to reports, Subedar Nishaan Singh is a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) in the 3 Grenadiers unit. As per the movie's storyline, Nishaan Singh will be seen serving under Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya played by Varun Dhawan. For the unversed, Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya's character is based on the real PVC recipient.
However, reports suggest that the character of Subedar Nishaan Singh is original character and not inspired by real life former Indian Army's Subedar. Still, the makers have not divulged much details about the character.
Therefore, True Scoop appeals you to maintain calm ad wait for the release of the movie to get more details on the character.
Coming back to Paramvir Singh Cheema, the actor from Jalandhar was quoted by IANS in which he said, "The exciting part is that Border 2 is an action film—a full-scale war movie. It’s packed with action from start to finish. I’m sharing the screen with Sunny Deol. I’ve always admired him because he’s also Punjabi. Whenever we come from Punjab, the first place we visit is Sunny Deol’s house."
