Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol have joined hands to bring audiences a story of courage set against the backdrop of the Partition. The first glimpse of the film was released on Thursday through its teaser.
The one-minute-five-second teaser begins with Aamir Khan's voiceover as he narrates how India got its freedom after a 200-year-long struggle but was also scarred by the bitter and brutal partition of the country.
The film also stars Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, and Sunny's son Karan Deol. Batwara 1947 is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and bankrolled by Aamir Khan.
The film marks the grand reunion of Sunny Deol and director Rajkumar Santoshi after nearly three decades and also marks Rajkumar Santoshi's reunion with Aamir Khan after Andaz Apna Apna (1994).
The film is scheduled to release in theatres on August 14.
