A few days ago, the makers of Sunny Deol starrer Batwara 1947 began promotions by launching the first poster. On Wednesday, the character posters for the entire lead cast were unveiled.

Besides lead actors like Sunny, Karan Deol, and Preity Zinta, the new set of posters also reveals character looks for Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh. "In a world torn apart, their story was a testament to courage. Meet the people who lived through it all," the caption read.

Although the makers haven't confirmed it yet, the first teaser of the film is expected to be unveiled later this week. Previously titled Lahore 1947, the film also features Khhushi Hajare and Kanikka Kapur in the primary cast.

Written and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the film is ‘set to present the story of a hero who chose courage in times of hatred and fear,’ according to an official statement by the makers. The film’s music is composed by AR Rahman, while the lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar. Batwara 1947 has been produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. 

Batwara 1947 also reunites Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi after 30 years — the duo gave iconic films in the 90s like like Ghayal (1990), Damini (1993) and Ghatak (1996), amongst others.
