Preity Zinta has wrapped the shoot of the upcoming film 'Lahore: 1947' directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The film that will mark the return of Priety to the big screen after a long time also stars Sunny Deol in the lead and is backed by actor Aamir Khan's production house. The film also reunites Zinta with cinematographer Santosh Sivan with whom she started her career in 'Dil Se...'

On Saturday night, Preity shared that she had wrapped the shoot of the film. She took to Instagram and shared a video that captures glimpses from the sets of the film. In the video, we see her posing with Rajkumar Santoshi, Santosh Sivan and rest of the crew.

Calling it the toughest film of her career, she hoped that the audience would shower the film with love when it will be released. "It's a wrap on Lahore 1947 & I couldn't be more grateful to the entire cast n crew for such an incredible experience. I sincerely hope all of you appreciate & enjoy this film as much as we did making it. It's definitely the toughest film I have worked on. Full marks to everyone for all their hard work & patience during the last couple of months. Thank you Raj ji, Aamir, Sunny, Shabanaji , Santosh Sivan & AR Rehman from the bottom of my heart. Loads of love always," she wrote in the caption.

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. The director while talking about Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol's reunion called it ‘accurate'. 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."

On the other hand, 'Lahore 1947' also marks Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's reunion after the 2018 action comedy Bhaiaji Superhit.
