Preity Zinta shares a look test photo of her character, Hamida, ahead of the release of *Batwara 1947*, which is set to open in theatres on August 14. In the post, she says she wanted to go back to where it all started, framing the photo as part of the film’s build-up.

The film marks Zinta’s return to cinema after an eight-year hiatus. *Batwara 1947* is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan. Sources also describe the drama as drawing inspiration from a well-known Punjabi phrase related to Lahore. While one outlet highlights the character sneak peek and Zinta’s comments about revisiting her starting point, both focus on the same promotional moment and the upcoming release date.
