During the event, Karan was asked by the media about the dialogue in the trailer, "Tu janta nahi mera baap kaun hai (You don't know who my father is)?", and if he has ever used the phrase in real life.
Responding to the same, he said, "Not really. This is the first time I have said this".
Sunny chimed in, as he said, "But everyone knows he is my son".

I get that nepotism is a hot topic, but Sunny's comment is just a proud dad moment. Karan seems humble—he didn't say the dialogue in real life. But honestly, with Aamir Khan producing and AR Rahman's music, this film could be a masterpiece. Partition stories always leave me teary-eyed.
It's refreshing that Karan didn't pull the 'dad card'—that's classy. But Sunny's reply was hilarious! Aise hi bolte hain (That's how they talk) 😂. The movie's ban in Pakistan is intriguing—must be hitting some raw nerves. Can't wait to see Rajkumar Santoshi's vision after so long!
Tch-tch, Sunny Deol should focus on making good films instead of these statements. 'Batwara 1947' sounds promising but naming it after a dialogue? Bit gimmicky. Also, why is Karan's acting career hinging on his father? Hope he proves himself beyond the surname. 🙏
I'm from Canada but I love Indian cinema. The Partition story is universal—my grandparents survived something similar in Europe. Sunny's comment is just pride, not an 'attitude' thing. With Aamir and Rahman involved, this might be another 'Lagaan' caliber film. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Everyone's talking about Sunny-Karan but the real news is the film's ban in Pakistan! That shows how powerful the narrative might be. Partition was our collective trauma—hope they handle it sensitively
