Overview
- The song was launched at the Longewala–Tanot site in Jaisalmer in front of BSF jawans and Army personnel, with Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty present.
- Recreated by Mithoon with additional lyrics by Manoj Muntashir, the track features Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Roop Kumar Rathod, Vishal Mishra and Diljit Dosanjh.
- Two versions were released, with the audio running about 10 minutes and 35 seconds and a shorter edited music video focusing on key emotional moments.
- Sunny Deol grew emotional recalling how Dharmendra’s Haqeeqat inspired him to do Border, while Ahan Shetty’s gesture of touching Deol’s feet and a dance with jawans highlighted the tribute tone.
- Organisers cited a turnout of over 12,000 including senior BSF officials, and early online reaction mixed nostalgia-driven praise with criticism of casting, as a viral Akshaye Khanna cameo claim was debunked.
