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.
