Director Rajkumar Santoshi clarified that investors were hesitant about 'Batwara 1947' because Sunny Deol is playing an Indian Muslim character, not a Pakistani one.
Santoshi addressed reports of funding difficulties, noting that investors had specifically requested an action-oriented entertainer featuring the actor.
The clarification aims to resolve misconceptions regarding the film's casting and the nature of the character portrayed by Sunny Deol.
