Despite the initial disruption, exhibitors remain confident that shows will resume smoothly. Screenings are expected to begin nationwide by around 10 am. Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, and is releasing ahead of the Republic Day weekend.
