The film marks the first collaboration between actor Sunny Deol, filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi, and producer Aamir Khan.
Aamir Khan Productions has announced that its upcoming period drama Lahore 1947 will be released in theatres on August 13. The release date coincides with the week of Independence Day.
Starring Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, and Karan Deol, with music by A R Rahman and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Lahore 1947 marks Sunny’s next project following his recent blockbuster successes. Sunny Deol was recently seen in 'Border 2', and the film has been running successfully since its release on January 23.
The timing of the announcement, nearly two years ahead of the scheduled release, suggests the studio’s intent to generate early anticipation and position the film as a major event for the Independence Day week.
While talking about the film, Aamir Khan said, “This was one of the favorite scripts of Dharamji (actor Dharmendra), and I am so glad he could see the film.”
