‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya O Jamyai Nai’ is a play by Asghar Wajahat that fascinates Rajkumar Santoshi. The director Rajkumar Santoshi is geared up to make its screen adaptation, titled Lahore 1947. There is no surprise that Santoshi roped in his frequent collaborator Sunny Deol for the historical drama. The duo had a falling out before making The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002). They resolved their differences soon, and he said, “I can only be upset with someone I have an equation with. The mutual admiration and respect have always remained.”
Check out Rajkumar Santoshi’s words on his collaboration with Karan Deol:-
The play revolves around a normal family that moves to Lahore after the Partition. Santoshi has taken this subject to Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. Eventually, he is glad it will materialise with his first choice. Sunny Deol’s son Karan Deol will also star in the period drama. He said, “Karan plays Sunny’s son and represents the next generation [in the narrative]. His character takes the story forward. When I went to narrate the film to Sunny, Karan was also there. He liked the subject and [his role].”
Rajkumar ji collaborated with Sunny on three films. He also helmed Bobby Deol’s debut film Barsaat in 1995. He is happy to work with the family’s next generation. Karan’s debut film, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, in 2019, nor his second film, Velle, in 2021, failed to impress viewers. But Santoshi has faith in the youngster. Santoshi has defended him and said, “You can’t judge an actor on the basis [of his films’ performance]. Karan has potential; he fits the role and is sincere.” The filmmaker plans to take the movie on floors in early March.
