Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi have initiated promotions for their film Batwara 1947 with a visit to Jaipur's Rambagh Palace. This location is deeply connected to their careers, as it was where Santoshi narrated the script for their blockbuster film Ghayal decades ago, establishing a significant actor-director partnership.
Recalling the past, Santoshi shared memories of their meeting in the monsoon of 1987, which led to the creation of Ghayal. Deol expressed gratitude on social media, detailing how his father, Dharmendra, agreed to produce Ghayal after a narration at the same palace in 1988, while Dharmendra was filming Batwara.
The makers released a video capturing moments from the Jaipur event, including fan interactions and the duo's reflections. Batwara 1947, set against the backdrop of India's Partition, aims to explore themes of resilience and hope. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026.
