In the midst of Housefull 5’s roaring success Sonam Bajwa—already riding high with upcoming roles in Baaghi 4 opposite Tiger Shroff and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat alongside Harshvardhan Rane—drops into a brand-new battlefield. Rumour has it she’s set to star in the much-anticipated Border 2 sharing intense emotional terrain with Diljit Dosanjh amid the chaos of conflict. According to a Pinkvilla source Bajwa’s character is no mere cameo; she’s the emotional core of the sequel her arc reflecting strength sacrifice and chemistry that lights up the screen alongside Diljit’s portrayal. The war isn’t just external—it’s fought in the heart. And her entrée is timed to perfection: cameras roll from late June through mid-August in Pune as Sunny Deol Varun Dhawan Diljit Dosanjh Ahan Shetty and now Bajwa bring Border 2 to life under Anurag Singh’s lens. The hunt for Varun’s heroine however continues. While makers have kept her involvement unconfirmed the whispers carry weight—after all Bajwa and Diljit share a rich chemistry honed across Punjabi hits like Hounsla Rakh Super Singh Sardar Ji (and its sequel) Shada and Rana Cha Dhanna. Directed by Kesari’s Anurag Singh and backed by JP and Nidhi Dutta alongside T‑Series Border 2 is slated to hit theaters on Republic Day 2026—a prime release slot channelling the patriotic thunder of its 1997 cult predecessor. From delivering punchlines in Housefull 5 to stepping into the trenches for Border 2 Sonam Bajwa’s career arc isn’t just genre-hopping—it’s a bold recalibration. Her choices reflect not only ambition but a hunger to expand her range from rom-com comfort zones to high-stakes war dramas. But this onscreen evolution echoes a deeper offscreen journey too. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan Bajwa revisited the shadows of her childhood being bullied for not fitting the fair-skinned stereotype expected of Punjabi girls. Relatives sidelined her some even refusing to invite her home. That early exclusion etched a sense of defiance in her one that now seems to be fuelling her fearless choices in cinema. With Baaghi 4 set for September 5 and Border 2 gearing up for a 2026 debut Sonam Bajwa’s filmography reveals not just ambition but audacity. Will this move into war drama cement her transition from Punjabi?
