Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol
Rajkumar Santoshi's upcoming film 'Lahore 1947' is one of the most talked about films. Ever since the film was announced, the excitement of the audience to know more about the film is soaring. As the film is all set to bring the never-seen-before trio of Sunny Deol, Rajkumar, and Aamir Khan together, it will also see a powerful villain. The director has roped in Abhimanyu Singh as the villain of 'Lahore 1947'.
While speaking about the same Rajkumar Santoshi shared, "Usually, whenever we think of a villain's character, the first few names that come to our mind are Amrish ji and Danny ji but we have to look forward and see who's taking the baton ahead. Interestingly, we have roped in Abhimanyu Singh who will be seen playing a strong and lead role as antagonist in Lahore 1947. His intensity, his voice, and his conviction are truly unbeatable. He is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors we have in our industry."
Abhimanyu Singh predominantly works in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil language films. He has vast experience working in films like 'Lakshya', 'Dhol', 'Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbai Dobaara!', 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela', 'Bachchhan Paandey', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' among many others. He has always impressed the audience with his roles and now it would be a treat to watch him as a villain in Lahore 1947.
Reunion of Preity and Sunny Deol:
The director while talking about Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol's reunion called it âaccurate'. Santoshi expressed his feelings and said, "After a long time, Preity Zinta is playing a very important role on the silver screen again with Lahore, 1947. She is indeed extremely talented, one of the finest and most natural actors in our industry. Whichever character she plays, she totally invests herself into it and makes the audience feel that she is made for that character."
Talking about 'Lahore 1947', Aamir Khan will take over the charge as producer under Aamir Khan Productions, while accomplished director Rajkumar will helm the project, and Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta will be leading the film as the main actors.
