Sunny Deol And Preity Zinta Reunite On Screen

Batwara 1947 marks another on-screen collaboration between Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. The two actors were last seen together in Bhaiaji Superhit, while their latest project brings them back to the screen after a gap of around eight years.

The film has been directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, also marking the return of Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta’s pairing under his direction after nearly 29 years. The project is produced by Aamir Khan Productions.

The film is scheduled to release worldwide in cinemas on August 14. Set against the backdrop of the Partition of India and Pakistan, the film explores a story rooted in that turbulent period.

The release will also put the film up against Emraan Hashmi’s romantic drama Awarapan 2. With both films arriving around Independence Day, the 2026 festive period is set to bring a major box-office clash.
