Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi and Director Rajkumar Santoshi open up about Batwara 1947 at the film’s emotional trailer launch
Director Rajkumar Santoshi’s partition drama Batwara 1947 shall be releasing on August 14 and stars Shabana Azmi, Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal, and Abhimanyu Singh.
The music is composed by A. R. Rahman, while the lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar, and the film marks the much-awaited reunion of Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol after nearly three decades.
The film’s trailer launch, which took place on Tuesday and where The Free Press Journal was present, was an emotionally charged one, with Shabana tearing up while recalling a particular incident during filming, and a visibly emotional Sunny throughout, sometimes because of talks related to his late father, Dharmendra, and other times when his son Karan was mentioned.
The trailer is very high on melodrama, along with bad guys flying when Sunny hits them, and could be said to be a film which deserved its place 25 years ago, during the Gadar era. However, a welcome change here is that Sunny, known for playing the angry Sikh/Jat in films like this, plays a Muslim, and for that alone, Santoshi deserves a hat tip.
