Sunny Deol has officially unveiled the title of his much-awaited historical drama “Batwara 1947”, a project that was previously being referred to as Lahore 1947.
The announcement was made on June 9, 2026, along with a striking first-look video that offers a glimpse into the film’s intense Partition-era setting.
The film set for a theatrical release on August 14, 2026, is produced by Aamir Khan under Aamir Khan Productions and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi. The project marks one of the most ambitious collaborations in recent Bollywood history, bringing together three prominent names from the industry.
The announcement video introduces audiences to a world shaped by violence, displacement and survival. The visuals suggest that the story is rooted in the human cost of the 1947 Partition. One poster features Sunny Deol holding a flaming torch while standing protectively beside Preity Zinta and Karan Deol. The image hints at a family caught in the midst of chaos and uncertainty.
