Adhering to their principles and innate spirit, while keeping pace with modernity, recently, a number of Sikhs in their Sikhi swaroop have appeared in Media, Fashion shows and Modeling.

Right from the Hollywood actor, Waris Ahluwalia to the Kenneth Cole guy Sandeep Caberwal, Singhs in their identity have indeed tried to make a mark in the International media. Back home, in India too, Graviera Mr. India 2004- Jaspal Singh Sehgal, voice of India, Ishmeet Singh and Indian Champ, Rohanpreet Singh have brought us laurels. The successful image of these individuals has overpowered the distorted and negative image of Sikhs so far portrayed in the Bollywood industry. What needs to be done further is to pick up from here, revolutionize it and take it to still greater heights.

Unless we tell our stories, the world will not know us. Silver Screen is a didactic and democratic medium that reaches far and wide. Then why not use this educative and entertaining medium effectively to tell the world who we are? Be it schools or colleges, offices or playgrounds and beaches the Singhs and Singhnis always stand out because of their distinct identity. Kudos to all those who are educating everybody just by being ‘what they are’. Many organizations have also taken up the task to educate the world about Sikhs. We should take this cause further by using media as a tool to do it more effectively.

We, at Noor Nissan Films have taken up the task of introducing Sikh actors to play lead roles in the mainstream cinema. We also specialize in training the aspiring actors of all ages. If you have your heart in it, you may contact us at sixthriver@gmail.com . Soon we are going to have audition for four main roles for our new film, “The Sixth River”. We are also going to make a database of all the actors for many more of our films to follow.

Noor Nissan productions pioneered the task of making films for the Sikh Diaspora with their maiden venture , “Kambdi Kalaai”. Now we are taking a step ahead and introducing Sikhs and their stories in lead roles on the International level. If you are a Sikh and have the desire to be on the big screen, now is the time to act and be proactive and tell us about it because we have the platform where you can prove yourself. Moreover, it will give you an opportunity to become a role model for many others who aspire to be a part of this medium. What really do Sikh kids see as role models in media today? The Brad Pit’s or the Sharukh Khans? We want to introduce a protagonist in our film that kids look at and say “I want to be him,a proud Sikh!”

Our Requirement:

1. 20-25 Yrs. Old, Tall (at least 5ft 9”), well built, turbaned Sikh boy with untrimmed beard. American accent is important.

2. 5-9 Yrs. old Sikh boy

3. 5-9 Yrs. old Sikh girl

4. 65-75yrs. old turbaned non-trimmer Sikh Man

For the preliminary selection please fill out the audition form from

http://www.nn-films.com/thesixthriver.html and submit it not later than 15th May.

After the preliminary round we will have a semi final round .The finalists will then be selected for a crash course in Acting which will include personality development, enhancing communication and Acting skills.

We are also offering internship programs to people of all ages who are interested in the art of filmmaking. Internship programs will include guidance and training for production and direction.

Since this is something to do with the Sikh community, I would urge every Sikh to be a part of it. Kindly display the printout of this information in Schools, Universities and Gurudwaras.

Hope to see you on board.
