Salman Khan called Sunny Deol's family after watching 'Batwara 1947' to praise the actor's performance, Karan Deol has revealed. Karan, Sunny's son and co-star in the film, said in an interview with Filmygyan that Salman's support has been consistent over the years. 'He said he liked the film, he liked my father in it,' Karan said.

The friendship between Salman and Sunny dates back to the 1996 hit 'Jeet'. 'Batwara 1947', directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, marks the filmmaker's reunion with Sunny Deol after nearly three decades. The film has had a slow start at the box office.
Salman Khan's public endorsement comes as 'Batwara 1947' struggles to draw crowds in its opening weekend. Historical dramas on Partition have a mixed box-office record in India, with only a few crossing Rs 100 crore. The film reunites director Rajkumar Santoshi with Sunny Deol after hits like 'Ghayal' and 'Damini', but Santoshi's last few outings have underperformed. Whether a star endorsement translates into ticket sales will be clear by the end of the first week.
