Mumbai, Jan 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh, who has been setting the house on fire with his Dil-Luminati tour, shared the first look from his upcoming movie ‘Punjab '95’.
On Saturday, Diljit took to his Instagram, and shared an array of pictures in which he can be seen in his character from the film.
He wrote in the caption, “I Challenge the Darkness. Punjab 95”.
In the first image, Diljit Dosanjh can be seen sitting on the floor in a raw and rugged look, dressed in a simple kurta and turban. His bloodied and bruised face conveys a powerful sense of pain and resilience.
The film is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
Another photo gives a glimpse into Khalra's personal life, showing Diljit as Khalra, posing with two children, offering a heartfelt preview of the activist's real-life journey.
Jaswant Singh Khalra was the director of a bank in the city of Amritsar in Punjab during the militancy period in Punjab. Following Operation Blue Star, the assassination of Indira Gandhi, and the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots, the police were empowered to detain suspects for any reason, ostensibly as suspected terrorists.
The police were accused of killing unarmed suspects in staged shootouts and burning thousands of dead bodies to cover up the murders. Khalra was investigating four major cases at one time and continued to collect evidence and witnesses.
The Central Board of Film Certification in India had proposed 120 cuts in the film to the makers. There was no certainty over the exhibition of the film given its sensitive subject matter. However, following Diljit’s meteoric rise and global attention, it seems that the film will be finally able to see the light of day.
Meanwhile, Diljit recently met the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi in the national capital.
