In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that Sunny Deol, not Aamir Khan, will be the lead actor in the upcoming film by Rajkumar Santoshi. Aamir Khan, who was earlier reported to have signed a two-film deal with Santoshi, will only be producing the film in collaboration with Karim Morani. The film is said to be a family entertainer and is expected to go on floors in March 2023.
This will mark the reunion of Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi after a long gap of 26 years. The duo had delivered blockbuster hits like Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak in the 90s, but had a fallout later. However, they have now buried the hatchet and are looking forward to working together again.
