Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 Cleared by CBFC, Set for August 14 Release
The upcoming historical film Batwara 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and starring Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, and Preity Zinta, has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without any cuts. Based on Asghar Wajahat's play, the film depicts the 1947 Partition, focusing on a Mohajir family occupying a Hindu home in Lahore and the ensuing tensions with an elderly Hindu woman. The film, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, is set for release on August 14, 2026, coinciding with Partition Day. The recently released song "Kahaan Chale Gaye Ho Ram," composed by A.R. Rahman with lyrics by Javed Akhtar, highlights the film's emotional depth and themes of love, hope, and resilience.
