Sunny Deol is gearing up for the release of Jaat, but there is also another film that his fans are eager about, and that is Lahore 1947. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. It is based on Asghar Wajahat’s play Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Ni. It was supposed to hit the big screen on Republic Day this year, but it got delayed. Now, Deol has broken his silence over the delay of the film and said Aamir Khan is the reason behind the same.
Talking to a leading media portal, the actor said, “That film is definitely coming. I started that before, and its shooting has also wrapped. I started Jaat after that. But that is taking slightly longer because Aamir Khan is the producer, and he’s aiming for perfection in editing.”
Lahore 1947 sees Sunny Deol and Raj Kumar Santoshi reunite. This actor-director pair has given us several hits such as Ghatak, Ghayal and Damini. Deol continued, “We have been working on Lahore 1947 for so many years. Several actors heard the story, and many of them were supposed to do it as well, but it didn’t happen. But Gadar 2 made everything happen.”
Deol also revealed that Aamir Khan was the first person who came to him and offered him Lahore 1947. He said, “Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya is a play that we had been trying to adapt into a film for many years. However, because there was no success, it was financially difficult to make. When Gadar became a hit, we were really delighted, thinking someone might eventually make it. And Aamir was the first person who came forward and said, ‘Sunny, I want to make this film’.”
The film is based on a Muslim family that migrates from Lucknow to Lahore during the partition. They live in a haveli that is abandoned by a Hindu family but they realise that an old Hindu woman is living in the haveli who refuses to leave.
