While speaking about the DOP, Rajkumar Santoshi shared that he shares decades of a relationship with Sivan. He said, "We will have Santosh Sivan as the cameraman/DOP of 'Lahore, 1947'. He is the topmost cameraman in the country right now. Before this, Santosh and I worked together on two films, 'Pukar' and 'Barsaat', in which he served as the cinematographer/cameraman. Interestingly, Santosh directed a film titled 'Halo', and that was the only film I acted in. We share decades of a relationship with each other, and this time we are reuniting with 'Lahore, 1947'."
