Industry insiders close to the project revealed that the timing for the film's release is considered sensitive, especially considering that people aren't open to consuming or associating with anything that has to do with Pakistan.   There's a possibility that the makers won't release the film until diplomatic tensions between the two nations are at ease. Many have suggested changing the film's name to facilitate an easy release; however, director Rajkumar Santoshi has refused to do so, insisting that the film will only be released if it retains its original title. While fans and the industry remain curious about what the film holds, as of now the future of Lahore 1947 hangs in the balance, awaiting for the political climate to ease down before its debut.
