In Lahore 1947, Rajkumar Santoshi reunites with Aamir Khan after Andaz Apna Apna, and with Sunny Deol after Ghayal and Damini.
Rajkumar Santoshi is excited to announce his collaboration with AR Rahman and Javed Akhtar on Lahore 1947, a film that reunites him with actors Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol. Aamir is producing Lahore 1947 with Sunny playing the lead role.
Sunny and Rajkumar have collaborated on successful projects such as Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak. It is worth noting that their action-packed thriller Ghayal had a well-known showdown with Aamir’s romantic film Dil from 1990, which was directed by Inder Kumar. In 2001, Sunny Deol’s Gadar: Ek Prem Katha clashed with Aamir’s Lagaan, creating quite a stir.
The movie also signifies the reunion of Preity and Sunny after a considerable period. They have previously collaborated on several films, including The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, Farz, and Bhaiaji Superhit. “After a long time, Preity Zinta is again playing a very important role for the silver screen with Lahore 1947. This on-screen pair has always been immensely loved by the audience. Above all, this film’s script demands a pair that is as accurate as Sunny and Preity,” Rajkumar said in a statement.
Experienced actor Shabana Azmi plays a crucial part in Lahore 1947. Rajkumar Santoshi revealed the character details in a statement. “Shabana ji has played various kinds of characters in her life. She is a tremendously talented actress and her character in Lahore 1947 is a central character in the film and the story revolves around her character,” he mentioned. It’s worth noting that Shabana was involved in a well-known kissing scene with Sunny’s father Dharmendra in Karan Johar’s successful family comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani last year.
Abhimanyu Singh has been cast as the antagonist in the movie, where he will clash with Sunny.“Usually, whenever we think of a villain’s character, the first few names that come to our mind are Amrish ji and Danny ji but we have to look forward and see who’s taking the baton ahead. Interestingly, we have roped in Abhimanyu Singh who will be seen playing a strong and lead role as antagonist in Lahore 1947,” Rajkumar announced in a statement.
Ali Fazal has also joined the cast to portray a significant character in the movie. This will be his first time working with all the other actors in the film as well as the filmmaker.
