After the makers of Border 2 released the heart-gutting Ghar Kab Aaoge last week, another song, Jaate Hue Lamhon, is set to be unveiled soon. With its music steeped in nostalgia, the film has begun to resonate across generations. Taking the promotional campaign beyond conventional venues, the makers are now set to launch the song at a location of military significance in Mumbai, with Suniel Shetty joining the team for the event, followed by a high-profile trailer launch aboard the INS Vikrant.

Today, the Border 2 team will unveil Jaate Hue Lamhon, a Roop Kumar Rathod number, composed by Mithoon — at a large-scale event in Mumbai’s Navy Nagar. It is a highly restricted Indian Navy residential cantonment at the southern tip of Colaba, housing naval personnel and their families.

For the first time, Suniel Shetty will join the event along with his son Ahaan and the rest of the Border 2 team. A source tells mid-day, “The film’s team is making sure that the movie is marketed in the best ways possible and spread over various army bases thus giving them the importance they deserve as Border 2 is about the valour and bravery of our armed forces.”

Except for Diljit Dosanjh, who is touring the US for his shows, the entire cast and crew will be present at the event. Army personnel and their families are expected to attend the event. Roop Kumar Rathod is even expected to sing the song live.

The film’s trailer will be launched aboard the INS Vikrant which was deployed to the Arabian Sea during Operation Sindoor last year. Along with other warships, INS Vikrant also took part in Operation Sagar Bandhu providing disaster relief to Sri Lanka which was hit by Cyclone Ditwah.

“Ahaan’s character in Border 2, Lt Cdr MS Rawat takes part in several key naval missions of the Indo-Pak war of 1971 as he is the Commanding Officer of a naval ship.”
