Lahore 1947: Sunny Deol To Start Shooting On This Date

Sunny Deol is preparing to film his next big feature, Lahore 1947, following a successful comeback with Gadar 2. The highly-anticipated film, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, has already generated excitement among fans. Sunny Deol, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Aamir Khan will collaborate for the first time. According to the latest reports, the makers of the new film are in the process of building the set and will begin filming next week.

A report by Midday quoted a source as saying, “Rajkumar Santoshi has a certain palette and vision in mind for the scenes. This shoot will be different from the ones that have been canned by Aamir Khan Productions. Aamir is certain that the director will run with his vision, and his role will be relegated to that of a producer alone. The first day of shooting is February 12. This week, the team will be working on the logistics.”

The report added that the makers have set up a refugee camp at Vrundavan shooting studio in Madh Island.

While the buzz for the film was already high, recently, the director raised the audiences’ expectations by announcing that AR Rahman and Javed Akhtar would also be a part of the film. The Indian Express quoted him as saying, “It’s a reunion with the most talented people. I worked with Aamir in Andaz Apna Apna and this time he is collaborating as a producer. On the other hand, with Sunny Deol, we made the most loved films like Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak.” The director had added that this is the “ best dream team and rare to come together.”

Speaking about how he ended up collaborating with Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol told on Koffee With Karan 8 that the process was initiated at Gadar 2 success party. Sunny Deol said, “When Aamir Khan came to the success party of Gadar 2, he came to me and said that he wanted to meet me. I surprisingly asked myself what it was all about, and the next day we met, we discussed some ideas and possibilities for cooperation, and after the conclusion, we came to this project, and that’s how it happened.”

Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi are reuniting for Lahore 1947 following their renowned cult classic Andaz Apna Apna. Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have also delivered three box office successes together, including Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak.
