Rajkumar Santoshi on working with Sunny Deol, Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta in 'Lahore 1947': 'It's rare to see...'

Rajkumar Santoshi reunites with Sunny Deol after 28 years for Lahore 1947, produced by Aamir Khan and that stars Preity Zinta as the female lead.

When asked about the collaboration for the film, the director shared, “Lahore 1947 is a very special film, emotionally attached and very important project in my career.”

He added, “Also, it’s a reunion with the most talented people. I worked with Aamir in Andaz Apna Apna and this time he is collaborating as a producer. On the other hand, with Sunny Deol, we made the most loved films like Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak. For a film of this magnitude, I can’t think of anyone else than A.R. Rahman as a music composer, he is one of the top composers in the world right now. Javed Akhtar and I share a very good bond with each other for many years, having him for this project as a lyricist is a delight. This is truly the best dream team and rare to come together. With all the positivity and full of energy, we will commence the shoot for the film very soon.”
