Speculation

Interestingly, the announcement post or the caption was devoid of any mention of Ayushmann Khurrana.
The new-gen star has been heavily rumored to be a part of the epic sequel.
While there is always a scope for his name to come up in future promotions, this might be an indication that the Doctor G actor is not a part of Border 2.
