Shabana Azmi-Sunny Deol To Work Together For The First Time!

There seems no end to what the incomparable  Shabana Azmi can do on screen. After  sharing screen space with Dharmendra  in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani for the  first time—an unconventional pairing that ignited the  screen—Shabana  will now be seen  with Dharmendra’s  son Sunny Deol in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s Lahore 1947,  although they are not cast as romantic leads.

Shabana  plays the  pivotal part of a Hindu matriarch in Lahore who  refuses to let go off her ancestral haveli  after  it is allotted to a Muslim migrant family  from India.

 Lahore 1947  also stars Preity Zinta  as Sunny Deol’s Significant Other. The  two were last seen  together in the disastrous  Bhaiaji  Superhit in 2018. Whether Zinta is relocating to Mumbai to resume her career is not known.
