During his appearance on 'Koffee With Karan 8', Sunny was asked about the collaboration. To this, the actor said, "When Aamir Khan came to the success party of 'Gadar 2', he came to me and said that he wanted to meet me. I surprisingly asked myself what it was all about, and the next day we met, we discussed some ideas and possibilities for cooperation, and after the conclusion, we came to this project, and that's how it happened."
'Lahore, 1947’ marks the reunion of Aamir Khan and Santoshi after 'Andaz Apna Apna'. Santoshi had earlier worked with Sunny in blockbusters like ‘Ghayal,’ ‘Damini,’ and ‘Ghatak’.
