Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has dropped the powerful new poster of his upcoming film Panjab ’95, a hard-hitting period drama based on the life of Sikh human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. The film, which traces the brutal aftermath of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, has faced multiple hurdles with regards to its release, sparking fresh debates on censorship and representation in Indian cinema.
Diljit Dosanjh unveils gripping poster of Panjab ’95 amid Sardaar Ji 3 controversy
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Honey Trehan and produced under Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP Movies, Panjab ’95 features a stellar cast including Diljit Dosanjh in the lead, alongside Arjun Rampal and Suvinder Vicky. The film aims to bring to light Khalra’s unwavering fight against enforced disappearances in Punjab during the turbulent 1990s—a narrative long buried under political silence.
The poster, dropped by Dosanjh on his official social media handles, features a gritty, intense close-up of the actor in character, evoking the gravity of the story it is set to tell. Fans and supporters quickly rallied behind the film, calling it “essential” and “courageous” for taking on such a sensitive subject.
However, the buzz around Panjab ’95 coincides with another storm brewing around Dosanjh’s recent film Sardaar Ji 3, which failed to release in India. The film, co-starring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, drew criticism from certain political and film association circles. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and several film bodies reportedly demanded a boycott of Dosanjh, questioning his “patriotic intentions.”
Despite the backlash, prominent voices from the Indian film fraternity have come forward to defend Dosanjh, applauding his consistent contribution to Indian cinema and his vocal stand on social issues. Many have pointed out the irony in questioning the patriotism of an actor known for promoting Punjabi culture globally and participating in socially conscious projects like Panjab ’95.
As both controversies continue to unfold, the spotlight remains firmly on Diljit Dosanjh—an artist seemingly unafraid to push cinematic and political boundaries. With anticipation high and public support mounting, Panjab ’95 could mark a defining moment in Dosanjh’s career and in Bollywood’s portrayal of real-life activism.
