Suniel Shetty, a famous actor, said he hasn’t seen his son’s new movie, Border 2, yet and doesn’t plan to until it hits a major box office milestone. The star made it clear that he has sworn he will not see the movie until it has grossed more than ₹500 crore worldwide.
Shetty has stuck to his choice, even though the movie has done well in theatres. He says he hasn’t seen a single frame of it yet.
A Father’s Promise Before Being Set Free
When asked about his strange choice, Suniel Shetty said that he had made this promise before the movie came out. He chose to watch Border 2 only if it grossed ₹500 crore worldwide. He thought that the movie should hit that standard because it had a national theme and emotional value.
He made it clear that this wasn’t just a statement; it was a promise that he had kept. Shetty didn’t even go to the theatre during the opening. He chose to stay outside while the movie was shown instead.
The star said he watched parts of the movie from the outside but didn’t go inside to watch them.
How the Box Office Has Been So Far
The story reports that trade trackers say Border 2 has been doing well at the box office but hasn’t yet crossed ₹500 crore worldwide. The movie is slowly making money and is still one of the most popular ones in theatres.
The goal that Suniel Shetty set for himself has not been met yet, though. So long as that number is not crossed, he says he will wait.
The star said he was optimistic about the film’s progress and believes that, with the audience’s help, it will reach its goal.

Having an emotional link to the franchise
Border 2 is very important to Suniel Shetty and his family. There are ties between this movie and the original Border, which was a major war story in Bollywood. Now that his son is in charge of the follow up, the project is very important to the Shetty family.
He doesn’t want to rush to see the movie because he wants the success to feel complete before he celebrates it himself.
He has made it clear that his choice is based on feelings and beliefs, not on judgment. He still likes the movie and is proud of how hard the team worked on it.
The family has already seen the movie
Some of Suniel Shetty’s family members have already seen the movie while he waits. The man said that his wife and kids had seen Border 2 and liked it.
Despite that, he has not gone to the showing because he promised not to months ago. He said he wouldn’t go into a theatre until the ₹500 crore mark was met.

Ready for the ₹500 Crore Moment
Suniel Shetty’s promise has not yet been kept. The star has made it clear that he will not watch Border 2 until it has finished playing in theatres and has earned ₹500 crore worldwide.
Until then, he’s happy to sit back and watch the movie’s box office numbers rise without actually seeing the movie. “I haven’t seen a single frame,” he said, which shows how seriously he is taking this promise.
The big question is still whether Border 2 will finally get Suniel Shetty to the theatre: will it hit the ticket sales target?
