since the film ucha buraj lahore da is about sikh empire and the significance of lahore fort which is shown prominently in the recentlyreleased poster writerdirector amberdeep singh is keen to visit the walled city of lahore and other areas for an elaborate shooting there however the production house is exploring possibilities in this regard without lahore sequences it will be unfair the film will remain incomplete and i am going to pursue it fully to include lahore in our itinerary said singh the moviemakers are likely to write to both indian and pakistan governments explaining their idea if nothing happens we might have to give another few months only for the creation of a replica of lahore fort heresources say the production house is in touch with pakistani filmmakers and experts who will provide them with video clipsfootage from lahore and other parts of pakistan and those will be fused or mixed to create a collage using modern graphic techniques and effects thats another open option however some generic slidessequences from pakistan will be used in any case to depict sikh empire said a source adding all locationslandmark forts etc have to be recreated here too to add to the visual authenticity of the background singh added that they are hoping to get necessary clearanceswith the films title and poster focussing on the splendour of the fort also unesco world heritage site spread in 20 hectares its the vital location in the whole plot also the lahore fort was the staying place of maharaja ranjit singh the iconic location witnessed the whole action from being passed on to various rulers to british colonialists post annexation of punjab after their victory at the battle of gujrat in february 1849importance of lahore city in the filmaccording to the sources in the unit the empire existed from 1799 after maharaja ranjit captured lahore it was their capital since sikh empire talks a lot about maharaja who ruled for more than 38 years lahore too is a very important place also the samadhi of the sikh ruler is there the film will have a lot of elements said a sourcecant reveal the movie plotthe writerdirector is keeping things secret will the project also have something on last king of sikh empire maharaja duleep singh son of ranjit singh who was stripped of his title post the second anglosikh war in 1849 and was sent to london where he stayed during exile there are a lot of elements in the film it talks about bravery war strategy etc said singh we hear the film will be a gripping historical drama which in reality began with ranjit singhs taking over of lahore from its afghan ruler zaman shah durrani
