Marking a powerful moment for Border 2, another frontline has risen to join the forces. The makers of the film, T-Series and JP Films, have revealed the much-anticipated first look of Ahan Shetty. Following the tremendous response received to the first looks of Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and the recently unveiled poster of Diljit Dosanjh as an Indian Air Force Officer, the new poster of Ahan has sparked a fresh surge of excitement around the film.

The look reveals Ahan in a riveting moment of combat; blood streaked across his face, eyes burning with grit, and a military gun held steady as he stands in action on duty.
