Lahore 1947, the Hindi-language period drama film, is headlined by Sunny Deol and produced by Aamir Khan. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film co-stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Karan Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh.
Aamir Khan has blocked August 13 as the release date.
Last year, the Independence Day weekend saw the release of Rajinikanth's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR's War 2. This time, Lahore 1947 is the first major project to finalize the date.
Will there be a multi-lingual release from Tollywood? Nothing as things stand. Prabhas' Fauzi will be a Dasara release, as it won't be ready for I-Day.
Lahore 1947 has music by AR Rahman. After Ram Charan's Peddi, this is among his major releases of the year. He shares credits for Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana Part 1 with Hans Zimmer. All the three movies belong to refreshing genres in Rahman's career.
