<p>Sunny took to his Instagram handle on Saturday and shared a video with the filmmaker at the same place where they commenced their '<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/ghayal-sunny-deol-remembers-dharmendra-as-film-completes-36-years-23636361" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Ghayal</a></strong>' journey.</p>
<p>The 'Gadar' actor mentioned on the photo-sharing app, "Some journeys come full circle in ways you can never plan. Years ago, I believed deeply in a script written by a young Rajkumar Santoshi. We tried taking it to producers, but no one was ready to back the film. That was when I decided to take it to Papa. (sic)"</p>
<p>"Papa was shooting for Batwara in 1988 in Jaipur and staying at Rambagh Palace. Raj gave him the complete narration of Ghayal, and the moment it ended, Papa said yes. More than the film, what stayed with me was how proud he was that I had recognised and stood by such a powerful story. That faith became Ghayal," he went on to add.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the journey from Dharmendra's 'Batwara' in 1989 to '<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/batwara-1947-trailer-sunny-deol-shabana-azmi-and-preity-zinta-bring-partition-pain-alive-23642021" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Batwara 1947</a></strong>' in 2026, Sunny concluded the post saying, "And now, all these years later, I returned to Jaipur for the first promotions of Batwara 1947. Papa&rsquo;s Batwara (1989) . My #Batwara1947 (2026) The same city. A lifetime of memories. And a circle that feels beautifully complete. Forever grateful to Papa for believing in my instinct, and to Raj for giving me a story worth fighting for."</p>
<p>Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan under Aamir Khan Productions, 'Batwara 1947' stars <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/batwara-1947-teaser-sunny-deol-stands-tall-against-hatred-and-violence-23640413" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Sunny Deol</a></strong>, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal, Abhimanyu Singh, Khushi Hajare, and Kanikka Kapur as the core cast.</p>
