Lucknow witnessed a special blend of cinema, history and emotion as Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Karan Deol arrived to promote Batwara 1947. Their photo shoot at the historic Purana Lucknow Imambara gave the visit an evocative touch, bringing the stars face-to-face with a city whose architecture and soul carry centuries of stories dating back to India’s partition in 1947. The timing the for the visit to Lucknow was ideal with Batwara 1947 releasing on August 14, just a day before Independence Day, for the starcast of the film Lucknow  was like a especially meaningful stop. The film’s story of Partition, displacement, family and human resilience made the timing deeply poignant, a reminder that behind history’s biggest events are ordinary people, their homes, their memories and their hopes for a better tomorrow.

During their visit the trio also met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, adding another significant moment to their Lucknow visit.
