What do we know about Lahore 1947

A few days ago, makers welcomed Abhimanyu Singh on board as an antagonist. The filmmaker said that Abhimanyu's intensity, voice, and conviction are truly unbeatable. “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,” he said.

“Interestingly, we have roped in Abhimanyu Singh who will be seen playing a strong 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,” the director added.

Apart from Sunny Deol and Abhimanyu, the film also stars Preity Zinta in the lead roles. The makers are yet to announce the release date.
