Teasers and posters
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, Karan, and Shabana Azmi — holding a flaming torch in his hands.
