Aamir Khan's production house unveiled new looks for Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh from Rajkumar Santoshi's film Batwara 1947 on Wednesday. In the look posters, all five embody resilience, courage and the era they lived through.
In the new looks, Sunny Deol is seen breaking down. Preity Zinta, clad in a salwar suit, stares straight into the camera. Shabana Azmi's intriguing eyes evoke secrecy and anguish as she peeks from behind a door. Abhimanyu Singh and Ali Fazal appear to represent the era with authenticity and sincerity.
Sunny Deol's son Karan Deol also plays a pivotal role in the film.
The caption of the post read, “In a world torn apart, their story was a testament to courage. Meet the people who lived through it all. Batwara 1947, in theatres from 14th August.”
In the first motion poster, Sunny Deol appears to protect his family — including Preity and Karan, and Shabana Azmi - holding a flaming torch in his hands.
