Suniel Shetty reveals he hasn’t watched son Ahan Shetty’s film Border 2, has this condition: ‘It’s not arrogance about…’

Suniel Shetty revealed that his wife, Mana Shetty, loved Border 2. He said that he is happy that after Dhurandhar, another Hindi movie has worked brilliantly.

Actor Suniel Shetty, who starred as Bhairon Singh Rathore in the 1997 film Border, has revealed that he didn’t watch its sequel, Border 2, which stars his son Ahan Shetty. Speaking with Mid-Day, Suniel, who attended the premiere of the war drama last week, said that the one condition following which he will watch the film is only when it earns ₹500 crore globally.

Suniel Shetty will watch Border 2 only under this condition

Suniel shared that he has kept a special prayer for Ahan Shetty. “I had said from day one that I will not watch Border 2 until it crosses a worldwide collection of ₹500 crore. I had kept a mannat (prayer) for Ahan. Till now, I haven’t watched a single frame. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not arrogance about the film,” said the actor.

Suniel will watch film later with family, friends

The actor shared with whom he will watch the film. “I will watch it with Ahan, his friends, and my family. I will also take Sunny paaji, Varun, and all of them with me. It will probably be the second time for them, but it will be my first. I don’t know how many times I will watch it after that. I have always been proud of Ahan and his decisions. He strongly believed that Border 2 was the film he wanted to do,” he added.

Suniel revealed that his wife, Mana Shetty, loved Border 2. He said that he is happy that after Dhurandhar, “another Hindi movie has worked brilliantly.” Last week, Suniel accompanied his family — wife Mana Shetty, daughter Athiya Shetty, and son-in-law KL Rahul —as they watched the movie with Ahan in a Mumbai theatre. He said that he “sat for three-and-a-half hours outside the theatre, meeting people and soaking in all the compliments.
