The first iconic clash at the ticket window was witnessed in 1990 when Aamir Khan’s Dil and Sunny Deol’s Ghayal were released on the same day. Then, in 1996, it was Raja Hindustani vs. Ghatak, followed by the most epic Box Office clash of Indian cinema in 2001, when Lagaan was released on the same day as Gadar. Now, for the very first time, the duo has come together and joined hands on a project.

Recently, on his visit to Koffee With Karan Season 8, Sunny Deol was asked by the host, Karan Johar, to share the moment when he and Aamir decided to collaborate. In reply, Sunny Deol said, "When Aamir Khan came to the success party of Gadar 2, he came to me and said that he wanted to meet me. I surprisingly asked myself what it was all about, and the next day we met, we discussed some ideas and possibilities for cooperation, and after the conclusion, we came to this project, and that's how it happened."

Aamir Khan will take over the charge as producer under Aamir Khan Productions, while director Rajkumar Santoshi will helm the project, and Sunny Deol will be leading the film as the main actor.

Lahore, 1947 marks the reunion of Aamir Khan and Santoshi after their iconic cult classic, Andaz Apna Apna. Moreover, Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol have previously delivered three box office hits together in the form of Ghayal, Damini, and Ghatak.
