Diljit took to X account, he shared a post with the message that read, “Punjab 95. In February.” He also posted photographs from the film on Instagram, he captioned the images with the words, “I Challenge the Darkness.”

The biographical movie Punjab 95 is based on the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights advocate. It’s still unclear if the movie will be released in its original form, as the CBFC had originally suggested 120 cuts.

The activist’s spouse, Paramjit Kaur Khalra, disclosed that her family had approved the project, which starred Dosanjh as Khalra, after reviewing the script more than four years prior.

The extrajudicial executions of Sikh youth by the Punjab Police during the militancy in the late 1990s are known to have been exposed by Jaswant Singh Khalra. Khalra was tragically kidnapped and killed in 1995. His kidnapping and murder led to the conviction of six Punjabi police officers.
