Realism has never been more in demand. And Sanjay Dutt who until recently was doing mainly fantasy is now on the realistic route. He’ll soon start Raj Kumar Santoshi’s film set during the Partition. Dutt also plays a real-life cop in Rahul Dholakia’s Lamhaa set at the heart of Kashmiri militancy.

And now Sanjay Dutt will take time off to play a real-realife cop who waged a fierce battle against terrorism in Punjab at the peak of Khalistan movement.

Apoorva Lakhia long in hibernation after the ill-fated Mission Istaanbul is all set make a comeback with a film on the cops who battled Khalistani extremism.

The terror situation in Punjab during the 1970s and 80s will be recreated through rigorous research on that period.

Lakhia says the film will occupy the same gritty real-time-real-space as Shoot-out At Lokhandwala.

Sanjay Dutt will be playing a real-life cop, one among a group who helped exterminate extremism in Punjab.

Amitabh Bachchan is also likely to play a real-life cop in this “period’ sharp shooter.

“It will be in the same genre as Shoot-out At Lokhandwala,” says Lakhia about the film Asthvinayak is producing.

The last time we visited “Khalistan’ it was for Gulzar’s dark intense and lyrical Maachis.

Lakhia’s film tends to take another more gritty brutal and violent route. -Sampurn Media

more propaganda coming our way.......

i think we, the Sikhs outside of India really need to wise up and be vocal that we will not tolerate Sikhi da roop or Shaheed Singha di beadbi to be done any longer by Bollywood.

The releasing of these kind of films will need to be met with strong opposition, Bollywood appears to have impression we like them.

Does anyone remember a Bollywood film called Bombay released about 15yrs ago, about a Muslim girl going out with a Hindu guy. It was met with very stiff opposition from Muslims outside India (protests, burning cinema's) and now Bollwywood are very cautious not to offend them.

But in real life he is himself a criminal charged with possessing illegal weapons.

Amitabh Bachchan is also likely to play a real-life cop in this "period' sharp shooter.

But in real life, from what I heard/read, he provoked the public against Sikhs after indra was parcelled to jamlok.

The last time we visited "Khalistan' it was for Gulzar's dark intense and lyrical Maachis.

Maachis was a classic. My first encounter with Sikhi!

It took Sikhs a while to start protesting when Bollywood started mocking Sikhi saroop. There were scores of movies where Sikhs were made fun of but nothing happened until movies like Khoobsurat and "Jo Bole So Nihal" came out. Muslims never waited that long, and hit the roads as soon as "Bombay" rose its head. Bollywood knows that Sikhs will at the most march on roads, break public property, and call for banning the movie. Thats it. In the case of Muslims, they know that they will hear the ticking sound.

Lets show these HinduStanis that to whom they calling Terrorists are our shaheeds . If we dont stop this we will pay heavy price in future.

Anyone from sikh jathrbandhi here ?

[gagan-47]

Again i feel that sikhs will do nothing until the film comes out.

In a wired way, i think that, the film coming out could be a good thing for sikhs to see who they are still being viewed and they need to be practical and not just assume everything will be okay with time.

If the film shows sikhs in a extremely negative light, then the British Sikh Student Federation will take action against the films producers and promotors for defamtion of the sikh people and nation and further seek for its banning in atleast the UK.

Bollywood is making big money from the aboard than in india and if sikhs slams court cases on them claiming hugh amount then it will be heavy cost for bollywood. sikhs and gurdwara committees should take bold initative. about JO BOLE SO NIHAL the rahul rawail and distributers withdrew the movie after making undertaking in punjab and haryana high court but movie is still showed on many channels . The sikhs should ban boolywood for any shooting in any gurdwara the bollywood is showing sikh heros jst to attract sikh NRIS.

Well we know that Kharkoos will be played by these Bollywood lot,and they will be shown in a negative light where as the cops will be heros of the Hindustani Nation,question is which Kharkoo(S) will the actors play and which cop with they play?

The butcher KP Gill or the Serial Rapist Gobind Ram

[Singhstah]

So basically, they're idea of a fun action movie is the genocide of our people and glorification of mass murderers.

And we're the terrorists?
