Kanikka Kapur's Batwara 1947 Poster Draws Comparisons to Kiara Advani Online
Sunny Deol's upcoming film Batwara 1947 has sparked online discussion due to the character poster of debutante Kanikka Kapur, which many fans say resembles actress Kiara Advani. Released on July 30, the poster features Kanikka alongside Karan Deol, dressed in period attire with minimal makeup. While some social media users speculated that AI might have influenced the poster's design, Kanikka's other photos show less resemblance. Kanikka, from Delhi, is making her Bollywood debut with this film, previously appearing in TV and web series.
