Sunny Deol, Karan Deol visit Partition Museum promoting Batwara 1947
A famous movie actor named Sunny Deol and his son Karan went to a special museum in Amritsar, India.
The museum is called the Partition Museum, and it remembers a very sad time in history.
During that time, India was split into two countries and many families had to leave their homes.
Sunny and Karan visited the museum to talk about their new movie called 'Batwara 1947'.
The movie tells the story of a family whose lives change forever because of that event.
It also shows that people can choose kindness and hope even in very hard times.
Sunny Deol is planning a long car trip through Punjab to promote the movie.
The movie will be shown in theaters all over the world on August 14, 2026.
A big team of famous artists, including Aamir Khan, A. R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar, worked on the film.
Sunny Deol and his son Karan Deol visited the Partition Museum in Amritsar during the promotional tour of their upcoming film 'Batwara 1947'.
The film follows a family whose lives are irrevocably altered by Partition-era violence, fear and forced migration, while celebrating kindness over hatred.
'Batwara 1947' stars Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity G Zinta, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh, and is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
Produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, the film reunites the 'Lagaan' team of Aamir Khan, A. R. Rahman and Javed Akhtar.
