After Laal Singh Chadha’s debacle, Aamir Khan is all set to redeem himself at the box office with RS Prasanna’s sports drama Champion. Besides that, he has also reunited with his Andaz Apna Apna filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi, this time to produce his upcoming project featuring Sunny Deol. As per reports, the much-anticipated project is based on an acclaimed Punjabi play which is set against the backdrop of the 1947 India-Pakistan partition.
According to reports, the film will be based on the Punjabi play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamyai Nai’ which revolves around a Muslim family that migrates from Lucknow to Lahore to stay in Haveli. However, an old Hindu woman refuses to leave the Haveli, which sets the drama. The upcoming film will be high on emotion and will feature Sunny Deol in the lead role. While the pre-production is underway, the shooting is set to begin by the end of 2023 or January 2024 as per reported by Pinkvilla.
