Sunny Deol has officially wrapped up shooting for the highly anticipated war drama Border 2 and is now gearing up to resume work on Lahore 1947, one of the most awaited films of the year. According to a report by Mid-Day, the next shooting schedule for Lahore 1947 will begin on October 10 and will last for 12 days. The new schedule includes additional sequences and will be shot across real locations in Punjab.
A source revealed, “Sunny and Santoshi sir will shoot most of these newly envisioned sequences in real locations of Punjab. The prep is already underway.” Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Lahore 1947 marks another intense collaboration between him and Sunny Deol.
In an interview with Zoom, Sunny shared that the idea for the film had been in discussion for years. “It has been a subject Rajkumar Santoshi and I have been discussing over time. We kept trying to execute it. After Gadar, it became possible. Aamir came to me with the idea, and I immediately said yes.” He added, “The subject is very emotional, and it has intensity and depth. It’s adapted from a play, and we’re hoping to release it soon.”
Based on Asghar Wajahat’s acclaimed play Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Nai, the film is set during the Partition. It follows a Muslim family relocating to Lahore and being allocated a haveli, only to discover the Hindu family who owned it refuses to leave.
