He said some scenes in the film related to the Darbar and Akal Takht appeared to be frivolous.

“We have received many complaints that the film portrayed Sikhism on a baseless philosophy. To check the same, an experts panel has been constituted to watch the film and submit the report,” he added.

Issuing a note of caution, the SGPC said if any filmmaker wanted to make Sikhi a part of his film, the script should get an approval from the SGPC.
