Blog 8: Why is Sunny Deol's Muslim character in *Batwara 1947* generating buzz?



In the new film *Batwara 1947*, Sunny Deol plays the role of an Indian Muslim named Sikandar Mirza. This aspect sparked considerable discussion prior to the film's release. Director Rajkumar Santoshi clarified that Sunny's character is an Indian Muslim, not a Pakistani one.

This role is particularly significant because Sunny Deol’s on-screen persona has long been associated with patriotism and action. He has portrayed immensely popular nationalist characters in films like *Gadar*. This time, however, the actor has chosen a role centered on the story of a Muslim family and community during the Partition era.

The film’s theme revolves around the tragedy of the 1947 Partition—a time when deep societal tensions arose based on religious identity, and millions of people faced displacement.

*Batwara 1947* attempts to view this period through a humanistic lens. The film also features Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol.

The film has received support from Aamir Khan, and its production has been a subject of much discussion.

This character is special for audiences because it allows them to see Sunny Deol step out of his typical action-hero image to portray a role that is far more emotional and serious.
