Following Abhimanyu Singh, actor Ali Fazal has joined the ensemble of the Sunny Deol-led film ‘Lahore 1947’. According to a statement, Ali Fazal has been cast in a significant role in the movie.

Now, the actor will become a part of one of the most anticipated films ‘Lahore 1947.’ Ali officially announced that he will play an important role. Apart from Fazal, the movie will also feature Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta in the lead roles.
Last week, it was revealed that the actor Abhimanyu Singh who has worked in Sooryavanshi, Dhol, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Kisi Ki Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has joined to play the antagonist opposite Sunny Deol in the film.

The film also stars Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi. Recently, Santoshi expressed his excitement about having Preity in the film. “After a long time, Preity Zinta is again playing a very important role for the silver screen with Lahore 1947. She is indeed an extremely talented, finest, and most natural actress in our industry. Whichever character she plays she totally invests herself in it and makes the audience feel that she is made for that character.” Santoshi said
“Interestingly, the audience will see her again with Sunny Deol. This on-screen pair has always been immensely loved by the audience. Above all, this film’s script demands a pair that is as accurate as Sunny and Preity,” Santoshi added.
Lahore 1947 marks the reunion of Preity and Sunny after a long time. The duo has earlier featured together in a couple of films such as ‘The Hero: Love Story of a Spy’, ‘Farz’, and ‘Bhaiaji Superhit’.
