Aamir Khan confirms casting Karan Deol in 'Lahore, 1947'

Karan Deol has joined the cast of Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Lahore, 1947’. The film features his father, actor Sunny Deol in the lead and is being produced by Aamir Khan. It was a few days ago that Sunny Deol's son, actor Karan Deol, auditioned for a crucial character in ‘Lahore, 1947’. Now, Aamir Khan has confirmed that he has bagged the part.

Karan will play the character of Javed in the film. Actor-producer Aamir Khan said, “I am so happy that Karan Deol has tested so well for the extremely critical role of Javed. His natural



innocence, his sincerity, and his honesty bring a lot to the table. Karan has really applied himself, worked hard, done workshops with Adishakti (a theatre group in Mumbai), rehearsals with Raj (director Rajkumar Santoshi), and is giving it his all. Javed is a great part, a very challenging part, and I am sure that with Raj Santoshi to direct him, Karan will nail it.”

Preity Zinta will play the female lead in the film. Santosh Sivan, who was recently awarded Pierre Angénieux tribute at Cannes, will be the cameraman of ‘Lahore 1947’.
