Cinema VinesWith the release of Batwara 1947 just weeks away, the film’s promotion is stepping up a notch. The much‑anticipated trailer will be officially unveiled on July 28 in Jaipur and on July 29 in Mumbai, with the events scheduled on consecutive days.
The first launch will take place at Jaipur’s iconic single‑screen Raj Mandir cinema. According to a source speaking to Bollywood Hungama, fans and local media will be invited to watch the trailer and meet Sunny Deol and director Rajkumar Santoshi. Raj Mandir, known for its unique ambience, screen and sound quality, has hosted several film launches and is considered a lucky venue for the actor, who has previously promoted Gadar – Ek Prem Katha (2001) and Jaat (2025) there.
Aamir Khan, the film’s producer, is expected to attend both events. Alongside Sunny Deol, the cast also includes Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. The film reunites Deol with Santoshi and brings a fresh take on the Partition era.
Batwara 1947 is adapted from Syed Asghar Wajahat’s play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’. The story follows a Muslim family that migrates from Lucknow to Lahore, where they are allocated a haveli vacated by a Hindu family. The old Hindu matriarch refuses to leave her ancestral home, and a rare bond develops between her and the Muslim immigrants.
Fans can look forward to the trailer’s reveal in two major cities, with Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan set to be the main attractions. The film’s release is highly anticipated, especially after the recent ‘A’ certificate approval by the CBFC.
