The box office is set for an interesting showdown as Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's Batwara 1947 has officially locked its release date. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the period drama will hit theatres on August 14, 2026, setting up a clash with Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani's Awarapan 2, which arrives on the same day.

The clash has caught the attention of film fans not only because of the star power involved, but also because it marks a reunion of a box-office battle that first took place nearly two decades ago.
