The Story in Brief
Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow on August 7, India Today reported. The meeting came ahead of the release of their film Batwara 1947, which deals with the Partition. Earlier, the actors promoted the film in Lucknow with Sunny's son Karan Deol. Both Deol and Adityanath shared photos on social media.
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Batwara 1947 stars Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh. The film follows a family torn apart by Partition. Aamir Khan Productions has produced it. The film releases in cinemas on August 14.
The Indian Opinion
Some may dismiss this as just another star-CM photo op, but the meeting also highlights the film's themes of communal harmony. Ordinary Indians know that Partition remains a raw wound, and a film tackling it honestly is welcome. The real test will be whether Batwara 1947 avoids simplistic narratives and resonates with audiences across the border as well.
