Event specifics
Imtiaz Ali, AR Rahman to attend event
The trailer launch event for Main Vaapas Aaunga will be graced by filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, composer AR Rahman, and the film's lead actors Sharvari and Raina.

Director's vision
'Main Vaapas Aaunga' draws from experiences of migration
Ali, known for his deeply personal narratives that explore love and self-discovery, delves into themes of memory, longing, and connection in this film. Speaking about the teaser and the story behind the film, he revealed that Main Vaapas Aaunga draws inspiration from the experiences of migration and the emotional aftermath of Partition. "Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone's heart? The biggest story of the century is migration," he said.
Film's theme
'Feel privileged to tell such a story'
Ali further added, "I feel privileged to get the chance to tell such a story on celluloid. This tale of fiction derives almost entirely from stories of people during the Partition." He emphasized that the past continues to influence our present lives and that even decades later, what remains is "the early feeling of love that was too personal to share." The film also marks Dosanjh's first collaboration with Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil.
