About Lahore 1947
Rajkumar Santoshi's film also features Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol in key roles alongside Sunny Deol. The music is composed by Oscar-winning maestro A. R. Rahman, and the lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar.
The story is set against a historical backdrop, and the plot is still under wraps. However, the film is reportedly based on Asghar Wajahat’s acclaimed play Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Ni, and is said to be emotionally charged.
Lahore 1947 is set to hit theatres on August 13, 2026.
