Punjab 95 first look: Diljit Dosanjh to play activist Jaswant Singh Khalra

After enthralling fans with his Dil-Luminati Tour, Diljit Dosanjh gave a glimpse of his next cinematic venture. The actor unveiled his first look from the upcoming film Punjab ’95. The movie is based on the life of activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.

In the first look, Diljit is seen sitting on the floor in a raw and rugged avatar. Dressed in a simple kurta and turban, his face is bloodied and bruised. The look hints at an emotionally charged and intense storyline.

Before unveiling his first look, the Chamkila actor had teased fans with a post that read, “Much awaited film is about to be released in Feb. So we had to postpone the album. Stay tuned folks (sic).”

Based on the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, the film made headlines last year when it encountered challenges with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which recommended between 85 to 120 cuts.

As reported by Mid-Day, the biggest change suggested by the censor board was to remove Khalra’s name from the film.

Reportedly, CBFC has also asked the makers, Honey Trehan and Ronnie Screwvala, to reconsider the title Punjab ’95, which references the year Khalra disappeared. The activist went missing in September 1995, and ten years later, six Punjab police officers were convicted for his murder.
