Mumbai’s film industry is no stranger to actors pushing their limits for authenticity, but Varun Dhawan’s recent ordeal on the set of ‘Border 2’ takes dedication to another level. During a high-intensity fight sequence, the actor collided with a rock while dodging the camera, resulting in a hairline fracture in his tailbone. Despite the excruciating pain, Dhawan powered through the shoot, embodying the true spirit of a committed performer.
Sharing a gripping video from the set on social media, Dhawan detailed the incident that has left him struggling even today. ‘This was the worst injury I’ve sustained on Border 2,’ he captioned the clip. ‘Trying to avoid the camera, my tailbone smashed into a rock. The pain was unreal, and I’m still recovering from the hairline fracture. My team helped me immensely that day—I owe them everything. I could barely walk, but we kept going. Grateful for this journey.’
The footage captures Dhawan in the thick of combat against an enemy, showcasing the raw action that defines the film. Fans have flooded the comments with admiration for his resilience, praying for his swift recovery. This revelation comes at a time when ‘Border 2’ is dominating the box office, crossing the 200 crore mark domestically after silencing pre-release trolls with Dhawan’s powerhouse portrayal of Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya.
Dhawan’s commitment mirrors the film’s theme of valor and sacrifice. From grueling shoots in harsh terrains to perfecting every punch, the actor has poured his soul into making ‘Border 2’ a tribute to real heroes. Industry insiders note that such injuries are common in action-heavy projects, but Dhawan’s refusal to halt production underscores why he’s earning rave reviews.
