Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh team up for a patriotic classic
The makers of Border 2 are recreating the iconic patriotic anthem ‘Sandese Aate Hai’ and have roped in two of India’s most loved voices — Sonu Nigam and Arijit Singh — for a fresh, contemporary rendition set for a worldwide launch.
A surprise addition: Diljit Dosanjh likely on board
Industry buzz suggests the reunion of Sonu and Arijit will include two more singers, with one voice almost certainly belonging to Diljit Dosanjh. A senior insider told Bollywood Hungama that the team wanted “a voice that bridges authenticity and modern appeal,” adding that Diljit “fits in effortlessly” and brings a distinct emotional texture to the track.
What makes this recreation special
The project is being handled as a prestige piece. The makers plan a large-scale promotional rollout to honor the legacy of the original song, positioning the new track as the emotional centrepiece of Border 2. With Sonu offering legacy and Arijit bringing contemporary depth — plus the possible inclusion of Diljit — expectations are high for a powerful, modern patriotic anthem.
Star cast and cinematic stakes
Border 2 marks the return of Sunny Deol to familiar, defining territory and features a multi-generational ensemble that raises the film’s scale and appeal:
- Sunny Deol
- Varun Dhawan
- Diljit Dosanjh (rumoured singer and cast member)
- Ahan Shetty
- Suniel Shetty
- Tiger Shroff
Expectations and release buzz
With a combination of star vocalists, a massive cast, and one of India’s most emotionally resonant songs being revived, Border 2 is shaping up to be a major cinematic event. The team is clearly aiming for a thunderous nationwide — and global — response when the track is finally unveiled.
Fans are already buzzing for the first listen and a glimpse of Sunny Deol leading this sweeping patriotic narrative once more.
