The promotional campaign for Batwara 1947 appears to be heading for its flashiest stop yet. After city tours, media interactions and a fresh round of buzz around the film, all eyes are now on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, where Sunny Deol and producer Aamir Khan are expected to join Amitabh Bachchan for the grand premiere episode.
The timing has only added to the excitement. Batwara 1947 is due to release in India on August 14, 2026, and the film’s team has already been actively building momentum across multiple cities. A television appearance on one of the country’s most recognisable entertainment platforms would give the campaign a major push just days before release.
A High Profile Kbc 18 Launch Could Double As A Batwara 1947 Promotion
According to the source material, Sunny Deol and Aamir Khan are expected to appear with Amitabh Bachchan on the opening episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. The report also notes that the new season begins on Monday, August 10. If the appearance goes ahead as planned, it would put three of Hindi cinema’s biggest names on the same stage at a strategically important moment for the film.
An industry insider commented, “Aamir Khan has largely stayed away from the promotions of Batwara 1947, letting Sunny Deol and others take centre stage. But it seems Aamir saved his appearance for the best. Seeing him and Sunny together with Amitabh Bachchan will be a win-win for both the film and the TV show. Batwara 1947 will get a promotional boost, while the appearance of the two stars will ensure the new season of KBC begins with a bang.”
The same update also revealed that a screening of Batwara 1947 was held on August 4. While trial screenings had taken place earlier, this one was described as a screening of the film’s final cut. An exclusive image accessed by the source showed Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi posing with producers Tutu Sharma and writer director Rumy Jafry after watching the film.
Aamir Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
As an actor, Aamir Khan was last seen in Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. Over the past few years, his screen appearances have been selective, while his presence as a producer has remained significant. He backed Laapataa Ladies in 2024, a film that won strong critical appreciation and kept his banner active in the theatrical space.
Looking ahead, Batwara 1947 is one of the most closely watched projects associated with him as a producer, especially because it brings together Rajkumar Santoshi, Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta in a Partition-era story adapted from Asghar Wajahat’s acclaimed play. Khan is also linked to Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, a 2026 film produced under Aamir Khan Productions.
