In the last 33 years, Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol have vied for the box-office pie on three occasions—Dil vs Ghayal (1990), Raja Hindustani vs Ghatak (1996), and Lagaan vs Gadar (2001). Now, the two actors are set to collaborate for the first time. Interestingly, Aamir has decided to back Sunny’s next with filmmaker-friend Rajkumar Santoshi. Interestingly, the movie in question is the National Award-winning director’s passion project, Lahore, 1947. For over a decade, Santoshi has been keen on bringing to screen novelist-writer Asghar Wajahat’s Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamya Nai. Life comes a full circle for him as he reunites with old friend Sunny, with whom he had first planned the movie. After they parted ways in the early 2000s, the filmmaker was contemplating making it with Sanjay Dutt and then with Anil Kapoor. Earlier this year, Santoshi told mid-day that he would be making the film with Sunny. Sharing the news on social media through Aamir Khan Productions’ handle, the perfectionist actor-producer wrote, “I, and the entire team at AKP, are most excited and happy to announce our next, starring Sunny Deol, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, titled Lahore, 1947. We look forward to collaborating with the immensely talented Sunny, and one of my favorite directors Raj Santoshi. The journey we have embarked on promises to be most enriching. We seek your blessings.”
