Mumbai’s entertainment scene is buzzing as the war drama ‘Border 2’ gears up for its big screen release this Friday. But the real talk of the town isn’t just the star-studded cast—it’s a viral social media trend centered around Ahan Shetty that has everyone hooked.
The trend kicked off with fans declaring they’d only catch ‘Border 2’ if Ahan Shetty dropped a comment on their posts. Celebrities jumped in, turning it into a full-blown phenomenon. Now, Riteish Deshmukh has joined the fun with a hilarious Instagram video.
In the clip, Riteish is seen in his car, pulling off exaggerated expressions while pleading, ‘Please comment, Ahan Shetty.’ The caption seals the deal: ‘Waiting for Ahan Shetty to comment on my reel—only then will I book my Border 2 ticket.’
The post exploded, and guess what? Ahan didn’t disappoint. He replied warmly: ‘Haha, tons of love sir. You’ve always supported me unconditionally, and I’ll carry that spirit through this journey. Heartfelt thanks.’
Ahan spilled the beans on the trend’s origin in a recent interview. ‘It started with a girl who posted a reel saying she’d take her friends and family to the film with her own money if I commented. I responded gratefully, offering to book their tickets myself—and boom, the trend took off.’
Stars like KL Rahul have also ridden the wave, amplifying the hype. For Ahan, playing a Navy officer in ‘Border 2’ hits close to home. His father, Suniel Shetty, starred in the original ‘Border,’ making this a legacy moment. The ensemble cast boasts Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh, promising an epic cinematic ride.
As theaters fill up, this lighthearted trend underscores the film’s massive anticipation. Will it translate to box office gold? Fans are already lining up—comment or no comment.
