The first picture of the group was shared on Tuesday, leaving fans with mixed feelings. The makers, while sharing the picture, also gave an update on the film. It was revealed that the third schedule of the war film started in Pune, with Diljit and Ahan joining the team. Sunny Deol shared the image on his Instagram and wrote, “When all ‘Forces’ Come together! #BORDER2… Diljit Dosanjh & Ahan Shetty join Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan as the battalion kicks off the 3rd schedule at Pune’s National Defence Academy.” In the picture, Sunny, Diljit, Ahan and Varun are seen seated, and the makers are standing behind them.

Netizens think Varun Dhawan is a misfit.

Athiya Shetty, sister of Ahan, reposted the image on her Instagram Stories, cheering for her brother and writing, “Can’t wait for this one.” Some social media users thought Varun was a misfit in the group and wrote, “Varun ki jagha pe Vicky Kaushal and Sidharth Malhotra ko cast karna thaa (The makers should have roped in Vicky Kaushal or Sidharth Malhotra instead of Varun).” Another asked, “What is Varun Dhawan doing in this film?”
