Mumbai, Dec 22 || Ahan Shetty has opened up about undergoing rigorous military training and performing gruelling action sequences for his role in “Border 2.”
He described shooting at NDA Khadakwasla in Pune as physically demanding and deeply transformative. Speaking about training at real military locations, Ahan shared with us, “Shooting at NDA Khadakwasla in Pune wasn’t just about capturing authentic visuals - it changed how I approached the entire role. You’re training where real officers train. That environment doesn’t let you fake anything. Your body, your posture, your intensity - it all has to match the authenticity of the location.”
“My routine didn’t change across locations - Pune, Amritsar, Khopoli, or Mumbai. Non-negotiable: strength training sessions, sports like football and cricket for agility and cardio endurance, and a strict recovery protocol including ice baths, steam, sauna, and red light therapy. Recovery wasn’t optional - it was as critical as the training itself. When you’re shooting intense combat sequences day after day, your body needs to repair and perform consistently”
