Sunny Deol’s fans are anticipating the release of Lahore 1947 amidst the release of Jaat. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan, the film is based on the drama Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Ni by Asghar Wajahat. This year’s Republic Day was intended to see its big screen debut, but it was later postponed. Deol has now spoken out about the film’s unprecedented delay.

Speaking to a 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.”

Deol also disclosed that the first person to approach him and offer him Lahore 1947 was Aamir Khan. Deol added, “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.”

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’.”
