Is Border 3 Happening?
After Border 2, producer Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Singh are collaborating for a new joint venture before they kickstart Border 3. Confirming the same, Bhushan told Hindustan Times, “We are doing a joint venture (a different film) with his company and my company. He’ll be directing, and it will be something new. Border 3 will happen in due course."
He added, "Anurag has worked so hard to rebuild it. If you bring something back after almost 30 years and it is getting so much love, we will definitely take it forward.”
Shedding more light on his collaboration with Anurag on a separate project, the producer stated, "But before that, we will continue what we were discussing even before Border 2 came into the picture. Now is the time for that. The next film will be on those lines. Then, we will return to Border."

The film opened with a strong Rs 30 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 36.5 crore on Saturday, Day 2. However, Border 2 brought in Rs 54.50 crore on its debut Sunday.
Gadar 2 opened with Rs 40.10 crore, followed by Rs 43.08 crore on Day 2 at the box office collection. However, it scored slightly less on its first Sunday compared to Border 2, with Rs 51.70 crore, bringing the film's total opening weekend collection to Rs 134.88 crore.
