Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is all set to resume shooting the final leg of his much-awaited film Lahore 1947. This last phase of the shoot promises to bring closure to a project that has already captured the attention of moviegoers with its compelling narrative and impressive cast.
According to a report by Mid-Day, Deol will return to the sets next week for what is expected to be the concluding schedule of the period drama, which explores the emotional journey of those affected by the upheaval of India’s Partition. The unit will head to Punjab for this shoot, with preparations already underway. “Sunny and Santoshi sir will film most of these newly envisioned sequences at real locations in Punjab. The shoot is scheduled to begin on October 10 and will continue for 12 days,” a source told the portal.
While the ensemble cast also includes Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi, the final schedule will focus entirely on Deol, as the other principal actors have already completed their portions. Preity wrapped up her filming in June this year, sharing a heartfelt post and a montage on Instagram. Calling it “the toughest film” she’s ever worked on, she thanked Rajkumar Santoshi, Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, cinematographer Santosh Sivan, and composer A.R. Rahman, expressing, “I sincerely hope all of you appreciate & enjoy this film as much as we did making it.”
The period drama officially went on floors in February 2024, with the makers initially targeting a 2025 release. However, the timeline has since been extended. An insider revealed, “When Aamir, Sunny, and Santoshi sat down to discuss the film’s progress, they unanimously agreed that it was more important to deliver a superior quality product than to rush the release.”
As a result, Lahore 1947 is now expected to hit cinemas in 2026, with post-production already underway.
