Sunny Deol is currently enjoying success with his recently released movie Gadar 2. The actor who is in full swing is nearing the completion of Safar and has the much-anticipated Lahore 1947 in the pipeline. This forthcoming project is a period film co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions and will bring together the trio of Sunny Deol, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Aamir Khan. 

Is Preity Zinta making a comeback with Lahore 1947?

Preity Zinta's potential return to the silver screen was hinted at when she was spotted leaving a Mumbai studio after a look test on January 24. Varinder Chawla, a paparazzo, disclosed that Zinta underwent the look test for Lahore 1947 and is likely to make her comeback opposite Sunny Deol. The duo has previously shared the screen in movies like Hero: Love Story of a Spy, Farz and Bhaiyaji Superhit.

Recounting the sequence of events, he shared, "When Aamir Khan attended the success party of 'Gadar 2,' he expressed a desire to meet me. Intrigued, I wondered about the purpose, and the next day, we discussed ideas and potential collaborations, leading to the inception of this project."
