Sunny Deol opened up about the status of his much-anticipated film “Lahore 1947.” He revealed that the film is taking extra time in post-production because producer Aamir Khan is aiming for perfection. Initially slated to release over the Republic Day weekend this year, the film has been postponed. During a recent fan interaction, Sunny Deol shared insights.
He mentioned that the film is currently being edited. Aamir Khan is meticulously ensuring that it meets the highest standards. “That film is definitely coming.
I started it, and its shooting has also wrapped. I started ‘Jaat’ after that, but it’s taking slightly more time because Aamir is the producer, and he’s aiming for perfection in editing,” Deol said. “Lahore 1947” marks the reunion of Sunny Deol and director Rajkumar Santoshi.
They are known for their iconic collaborations on films like “Ghayal,” “Damini,” and “Ghatak.” Aamir Khan and Santoshi previously worked together on “Andaz Apna Apna,” making this project special in its own right. Deol reflected on this reunion, saying, “I think everybody wants to see us together because of our previous films, which I assume everybody loved.
Film delayed for perfection in editing
It took us long to come back together, and ‘Lahore’ is a subject we’ve worked on for many years. Several actors heard the story and were supposed to do it, but it didn’t happen. But ‘Gadar 2’ made everything happen.”
Sunny Deol expressed his enthusiasm about working with Santoshi.
He noted that their collaboration led to a challenging yet fruitful experience. He added that he hopes “Lahore 1947” reaches the iconic status of their previous films. This production also marks the first time Aamir Khan is producing a film starring Sunny Deol in the lead.
The announcement image of the trio—Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Sunny Deol—went viral on social media. Deol shared his surprise and happiness at Aamir’s involvement in the production. “I was pleasantly surprised when Aamir showed his interest in producing the film despite being an established actor himself,” Deol said.
He further mentioned that the film has turned out well and he hopes the audience likes it. Apart from Sunny Deol, “Lahore 1947” features a stellar cast including Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol in pivotal roles. Fans eagerly await the release of this much-anticipated film.
