After a busy few months packed with back-to-back shoots, Ali Fazal has officially wrapped up his final portions for the much-anticipated film Lahore 1947. The actor, who recently completed the Mumbai and Benaras schedules for Mirzapur: The Movie, has been seamlessly balancing multiple major projects and continues to prove his commitment to diverse and powerful storytelling.
Produced by Aamir Khan Productions and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi, Lahore 1947 brings together an extraordinary ensemble cast including Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, and Shabana Azmi. The period drama is one of the most awaited cinematic events of the year, exploring a story set against the turbulent backdrop of India’s partition.
“It’s been quite an emotional journey wrapping up Lahore 1947. The film is unlike anything I’ve done before – it’s deeply rooted in our history, yet carries emotions that are timeless and universal. Working under Rajkumar Santoshi sir’s direction has been a masterclass in itself, and sharing screen space with powerhouses like Sunny sir, Preity ma’am, and Shabana ji has been an absolute honor. Each day on set felt like a lesson – not just in cinema, but in humility and dedication to the craft.” – Ali Fazal
Ali Fazal further adds, “This film demanded a lot from me – emotionally, mentally, and even physically – and I’m grateful for every moment of it. I’m excited for the audience to see a side of me they haven’t seen before. As I move on from this schedule, I carry immense gratitude for the team that made this experience so special. Lahore 1947 is more than a film; it’s a story that connects us to our roots and reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit.”
With Lahore 1947 now in its final stages of completion, Ali continues his streak of powerful performances across genres, reaffirming his place as one of the most versatile actors of his generation.
