Sunny Deol reveals 'Lahore 1947' delayed due to Aamir Khan's perfectionism: 'He wants to take his time to edit'

Sunny Deol's 'Lahore 1947' is among the most anticipated films of 2025. Although it was initially set to release on Republic Day weekend this year, the film has been delayed. In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Sunny Deol revealed that the release plans have been adjusted due to the extensive post-production work, as producer Aamir Khan aims for perfection.
Status Update on 'Lahore 1947'
When asked about the status of 'Lahore 1947', Deol shared that the film is currently undergoing editing. As he prepares for the release of his action film 'Jaat', he noted that the film is taking longer due to Aamir Khan's meticulous approach to editing. Sunny clarified, "Woh film definitely aa rahi hai. Woh kya huya woh film maine pehle shuru ki thi. Uski kaafi shooting poori khatam ho chuki hai. And uske baad maine Jaat shuru ki hai. But usme thoda sa waqt isliye bhi lag raha hai because Aamir (Khan) is the producer and he wants to take his time, wants to edit, wants to see everything, he wants to be very perfect about everything."
Reunion and Collaborations
'Lahore 1947' is notable for reuniting Sunny Deol with director Rajkumar Santoshi, following their successful collaborations on 'Ghayal', 'Damini', and 'Ghatak'. Additionally, the film brings together Aamir Khan and Santoshi once again, having previously worked together on the classic 'Andaz Apna Apna'.
Background and Development
Sunny also talked about a reunion with Rajkumar Santoshi nearly 30 years after 'Ghatak'. He noted that audiences have long wanted to see them collaborate again due to their past successful films. It took time for them to come together, as they have been working on 'Lahore 1947' for years. Several actors had considered the project, but it didn't move forward until the success of 'Gadar 2' helped make it possible.
'Lahore 1947' Cast
Apart from Sunny Deol, Lahore 1947 also stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, Karan Deol and more.
