Diljit Dosanjh shared a new poster of his next, ‘Punjab 95’, in which he appears almost unfamiliar as the killed human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalara. The intensive image shows the actor with a tied hand and a persecutor gaze – the role and the film’s gravity offers a chilling glimpse.
The poster quickly went viral, ruled the public interest in a long delayed project.
Take a look at the poster here:
Directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwal’s RSVP films, ‘Punjab 95’ is based on the real -life story of Khalara, which highlighted extraordinary murders in Punjab during the 1980s and 90s. However, the film is placed in controversy. It was reportedly asked by the censor board to cut 120, which reflects the sensitivity around its political subjects.
The film was originally slaans for the premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023, described by Trehan as “a painting of systemic cruelty and the cost of speaking the truth”. Just before its sudden return joined its uncertain release journey.
Despite the failures, Diljit continues to promote the film, using his platform to keep the conversation alive. While Punjab 95 is waiting for final certification, actors are also working on their next project, ‘Border 2’ along with Varun Dhawan and Ahaan Shetty.
