Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Ghallughara’ In TROUBLE? Censor Board To Cut 90 Percent Of The Film? DETAILS INSIDE
Diljit Dosanjh and Arjun Rampal starrer Ghallughara directed by Honey Trehan is recently battling against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film received a certification from the CBFC but with 21 cuts.

Ghallughara is inspired by the life of noted Sikh human rights activist, Jaswant Singh Khalra, who was proactive during Punjab’s insurgency in the 1990s.

The singer-actor will play the lead character, Jaswant Singh Khalra, in the film. The filmmaker Hoeny Tehran has protested against the CBFC’s ruling and the court hearing is slated for Friday, July 14. 

As per the reports, CBFC has questioned certain scenes and dialogues in the film that can trigger violence and radicalise Sikh youth. The CBFC argued about the film’s impact on the country’s sovereignty and its relations with foreign countries. 

Previously, RSVP film was run by Ronnie Screwvala, who challenged the 21 requested cuts by CBFC and filed an appeal under section 5C of the Cinematograph Act with the Bombay High Court. 

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Diljit Dosanjh recently took the internet by storm with his spellbinding performance at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. 

He was the first Punjabi artist to ever perform at the prestigious music festival. Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, the film stars Parineeti Chopra as its female lead. The film will follow the story of Amar Singh Chamkila, the legendary pop star who shot to fame in the 1980s. For those unversed, Chamkila was assassinated at the age of 27.
