Border 2 is directed by Anurag Singh and is set to hit screens on January 23, 2026. Medha comes from an Army family and has been cast as the female lead in the film.
Talking about casting Medha, producer Bhushan Kumar shares, “It was imperative for us to find someone who could naturally embody the dialect, spirit, and rooted essence of the region. Medha impressed the team not just with her raw talent but with her effortless command over the regional dialect and her emotional range as an actor. We truly believe she will bring depth and realism to the role.”
Similarly, producer Nidhi Dutta notes, “Border 2 is not just a film; it’s an emotion. Every choice we’ve made, from the director to the cast, is driven by our vision to tell a story that feels honest, powerful, and relevant.
