In Pic: Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta
The upcoming film 'Lahore, 1947', produced by Aamir Khan Productions, is indeed one of the most anticipated films to come out of Indian cinema. The period film boasts one of the most prominent names in the entertainment industry, as the trio of Sunny Deol, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Aamir Khan is teaming up for the first time for this project. Apart from this, the director has roped in Preity Zinta as the leading lady for the period drama.
The director while talking about Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol's reunion called it âaccurate'. Santoshi expressed his feelings and said, "After a long time, Preity Zinta is playing a very important role on the silver screen again with Lahore, 1947. She is indeed extremely talented, one of the finest and most natural actors in our industry. Whichever character she plays, she totally invests herself into it and makes the audience feel that she is made for that character."
He added, "Interestingly, the audience will see her again with Sunny Deol. This on-screen pair has always been immensely loved. Above all, this film's script demands a pair that is as accurate as Sunny and Preity."
The shooting of âLahore, 1947' started from yesterday, February 13. Sunny Deol was last seen in the blockbuster film 'Gadar 2'. Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have previously delivered three box office hits together in the form of 'Ghayal', 'Damini', and 'Ghatak'. Given this impressive track record, it's only natural to anticipate that their upcoming project will be nothing short of epic.
