EXCLUSIVE: Sunny Deol’s Lahore: 1947 aims at an August 2025 release; Aamir Khan Production initiates conversations with YouTube

As a seasoned film critic and industry observer with over three decades of experience, I must say that Aamir Khan’s 2025 lineup is nothing short of a cinematic extravaganza. His strategic approach to production and distribution, coupled with his knack for selecting compelling stories, sets him apart in the industry.

In 2025, Aamir Khan is poised to take over with numerous projects lined up as both an actor and a producer. The actor has unveiled a schedule that includes Lahore: 1947, Sitaare Zameen Par, Ek Din, and Pritam Pyaare for release in the upcoming year. It’s been reported that Khan is currently scouting for release dates and platforms for these films. Insiders suggest that Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore: 1947, starring Sunny Deol, might hit theaters as early as August 2025.

2025 is the anticipated release year for the movie “Lahore: 1947,” which is currently undergoing editing. Producer Aamir Khan is eager to share this film with audiences in August 2025, as he believes that the holiday season in August could boost its success since it’s based on the India-Pakistan partition, which occurred in August 1947. The final decision on the release date will be made once the editing process is complete. Insiders close to the project have hinted at positive early reports, with promises of intense drama and grandiose scenes featuring Sunny Deol.

Aamir Khan has been discussing potential collaborations with YouTube executives in both the US and India over the past few months, considering ways to debut his movies on the platform. A source stated that Aamir is opposed to releasing films on existing platforms and is brainstorming numerous ideas with YouTube for film presentation. The discussions cover a variety of possibilities such as direct-to-digital releases following the cinema premiere, post-theatrical streaming, pay-per-view options, and more. However, Aamir has not yet decided on the specific approach to partner with YouTube in this venture.

Based on our source, Aamir aims to transform the digital realm by releasing his movies on YouTube. Originally securing a 70 crore deal as a producer for Lahore: 1947 with a major player, he’s chosen to return this investment at present. Instead, he’s working on setting up an alternative platform using YouTube, where he plans to distribute his entire catalog in various formats as previously stated, the source explained.
