Before Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal took the box office records only to shatter them one at a time, Sunny Deol did the same with Gadar 2 in August this year. The surprising success of Anil Sharma’s nostalgia-ridden blockbuster opened a lot of doors for Sunny, and he chose to enter the one guarded by Aamir Khan.

Last month, Aamir broke the news about working with Sunny Deol for a film titled Lahore 1947. Yeah, the title suggests that it’ll also find its anchor in patriotism to attract a larger section of the audience. Fans got excited and predicted this could be another box office monster aiming to enter the illustrious 1000-crore club.

Here’s what Aamir Khan posted while announcing the film, “I, and the entire team at AKP, are most excited and happy to announce our next, starring Sunny Deol, directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, titled Lahore, 1947.

Mona Singh will be playing Sunny Deol’s wife, and their pairing will surely come across as natural and authentic in an emotional partition drama.
