Lahore 1947 movie: After a lean patch in the past few years, Bollywood seems to have started to make a comeback to attract audiences to the theatre scenes. Now, Sunny Deol seems to have brought along massive cheer for his die-hard fans.

The Long-Awaited Reunion: ‘Lahore 1947’ Starring the Legendary Actor and Director
Acclaimed Bollywood director Rajkumar Santoshi gave Sunny Deol his biggest break in the Bollywood film ‘Ghayal’. The film did well at the box office, marking a collaboration between the soon-to-be two Titans of the Indian Cinema.
Afterwards, Sunny Deol played an important role in his second blockbuster film, ‘Damini’ in Mr Santoshi’s direction. Clearly, the Bollywood duo enjoyed great chemistry working with each other.
Fall out between the Duo
However, in the late 1990s, their friendship turned sour with both of them not clearly stating the reason for their fall out. But reports suggest that they had creative differences over a film on Indian revolutionary Bhagat Singh.
It is claimed that Sunny wanted to play the lead role in a film based on the life of Bhagat Singh. But director Santoshi was averse to this idea. Later on, Sunny nudged the director to at least cast his brother Bobby Deol in the lead role which was also turned down by Mr Santoshi.
