Sunny Deol, promoting his latest film “Batwara 1947,” says he prefers not to get drawn into political discussions. Speaking at an event connected to the film, he recalls a remark by his father, actor Dharmendra, during the 1947 Batwara period. Deol says Dharmendra made a lighthearted comparison suggesting that “Pakistan is like a maternal figure,” adding that the land had once been one. Deol presents the comment as part of his family’s recollections and reiterates that he would rather focus on storytelling. He also notes that “Batwara 1947” is filmed entirely in India. Multiple outlets report that Deol maintains a similar position—staying away from political debate—and frames his public remarks around the film’s creative work rather than current political issues. The film is also reported as marking the reunion of Sunny Deol with director Rajkumar Santoshi, who returns to helm the project.
