The film stars Diljit Dosanjh and Naseeruddin Shah alongside Vedang Raina and Sharvari. The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, tells the story of two lovers who face their toughest test during the Partition.Speaking to news agency PTI, Imtiaz had said, "I never wanted to make a film on the Partition if I had nothing unique to say. I did not want to report an incident. When the battle is lost and won, what is it that remains? What is it that will remain in the mind of a person who is now unable to exit the stage of the world without making some change to the events of what happened in 1947?"“But in retrospect, 78 years later, when many, many things are forgotten, what is intensely remembered is the tenderness of early youth and romance to which we return when we go to 1947. So it is such a story,” he added. In the film, actors Vedang Raina and Sharvari play young lovers while Naseeruddin Shah plays Dosanjh's grandfather, remembering his past love. It will release in theatres on June 12.
