Father-son duo Sunny Deol and Karan Deol are set to mark a professional milestone this month. A special promotional video for their upcoming film, Batwara 1947, is expected to be unveiled on Father’s Day, June 21, 2026.
The project, which has undergone a title change from Lahore 1947 to Batwara 1947, serves as the first time the pair will share screen space in a feature film. The move to rename the period drama follows industry efforts to focus on the human struggle of the partition era rather than geopolitical sensitivities ahead of its planned Independence Day release.
Batwara 1947 features an ensemble cast including Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, and Ali Fazal. The production is helmed by director Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan Productions. For Karan Deol, this project represents his third feature film appearance, following his previous work in Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas and Velle.
This collaboration also sees a reunion for director Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol, who previously worked together on hits like Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak. Additional details regarding the film’s development can be found in the official project summary. The promotional rollout on June 21 remains the primary focus for the team as they prepare for the wider cinematic release in August 2026.
