Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 10 (NationPress) Renowned actor Sunny Deol shared a serene moment from his journey by posting a picture from Kutch.
On his Instagram, Sunny uploaded a video of himself resting against his car, admiring the expansive waters as the sky transitions into gentle shades of either dawn or dusk.
He captioned the post with “Road to heaven. Kutch,” reflecting on the tranquility and stillness of the landscape while celebrating the success of his latest film, “Border 2.”
This film is inspired by the events surrounding the 1971 war. It is produced by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series, in collaboration with J.P. Dutta’s J.P. Films, featuring a strong production team that includes Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta, directed by Anurag Singh.
Previously, J.P. Dutta’s acclaimed film “Border” was released in 1997, featuring an impressive ensemble cast such as Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, and Akshaye Khanna, along with Tabu, Pooja Bhatt, and others.
Sunny is set to appear in ‘Lahore 1947’, which will be released in cinemas on August 13.
This film marks the first collaboration between Sunny Deol, director Rajkumar Santoshi, and producer Aamir Khan.
Aamir Khan expressed, “This was one of the favorite scripts of Dharamji, and I am so glad he could see the film.”
The cast also includes Shabana Azmi, Preiti Zinta, and Karan Deol, with music composed by AR Rahman and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. ‘Lahore 1947’ is positioned as Sunny’s next venture after his recent blockbuster hits.
This narrative is set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India, exploring one of the most tumultuous periods in the subcontinent’s history. It marks Sunny Deol’s reunion with Rajkumar Santoshi, following their collaborations on ‘Ghayal’ and ‘Damini’.
The story is reportedly adapted from Asghar Wajahat’s celebrated play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Nai’, which delves into the Partition through personal relationships impacted by communal violence and displacement.
The plot centers around a Hindu family compelled to migrate from Lahore to India, who are allocated a haveli once occupied by a Muslim family, only to find an elderly Muslim woman still residing there.
The film promises an emotionally charged exploration of identity, loss, coexistence, and moral duty amid significant upheaval.
