Recently, there was a buzz around the much-awaited film Lahore 1947, starring Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. Reports had begun to circulate suggesting that the film's title was being scrapped in favour of a new one, Batwara 1947. However, producer Aamir Khan has now stepped forward to clear the air, confirming that the original title is here to stay. The speculation about the name change reportedly came from industry chatter. Some suggested that naming an Indian film after a city in Pakistan might lead to hesitation among audiences given the current social and political climate.
