SCOOP: Sunny Deol-Aamir Khan-Rajkumar Santoshi's Lahore 1947 likely to be renamed Batwara 1947 In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama had reported that the makers of Lahore 1947 are looking for a change of title. We have now learned from sources that the film is likely to be rechristened as Batwara 1947. An article in Mid-Day on April 17 mentioned that the period drama has been tentatively titled as Batwara 1947. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "The makers prefer the title Batwara 1947. In all probability, this would be the title of the film once all the stakeholders agree to it. A clearer picture will emerge in a few weeks on this front. "In February 2026, Bollywood Hungama carried a quote from a source that stated, "Lahore 1947 is based on the famous play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’. Since the film is set in the Pakistani city and during the Independence period, the title Lahore 1947 was initially deemed suitable. But now the makers feel that there can be a better title that is apt for the story of the film. "The film will release in cinemas on August 13, that is, in the Independence Day week. The play, ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya’, was written by Syed Asghar Wajahat in 1980. The Partition-era story revolves around a Muslim family which migrates from Lucknow to Lahore and is allotted a haveli vacated by a Hindu family. The old Hindu matriarch refuses to leave her ancestral home and she also strikes a rare bond with the Muslim immigrants.

Aamir Khan denies title change of Lahore 1947 to Batwara 1947: "Title of our film has not changed" During the past few days, the internet has been abuzz with the talk of Rajkumar Santoshi’s historical drama Lahore 1947 undergoing a title change. Some know-alls have spread the rumour that the film is now titled ‘Batwara 1947’. But when this writer asked Aamir Khan, the film’s producer, he laughed at the so-called title-change. “Where did you hear that? No, the title of our film has not changed. As of now, it is Lahore 1947, and that’s how I would like it to be. ”The title Lahore 1947 came under the scanner when it was felt that an Indian film named after a city in Pakistan wouldn’t be received well by Indian audiences. However, Aamir told this writer that he was not inclined to succumb to any such pressure. The problem is somewhere else. Producer-director Suneel Darshan owns the rights to the title ‘Lahore’. Negotiations are on and the matter will be settled very soon. So, the film will be called Lahore 1947, and not Batwara 1947. Lahore 1947 is adapted from the classic play Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya. It stars the likes of Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta, among others.
