Many Sikh Organizations in Punjab have announced their opposition to the upcoming Punjabi movie Akaal. Pardeep Singh Ayali, a prominent leader of a Sikh organization, has raised objections to the film’s depiction of “Akaalis” (saint-soldiers in Akaali/Nihang baana).
In his statement Ayali emphasized that the baana (traditional attire) is a sacred blessing from the guru and its should not be shown in wrong way in films that too just for entertainment. He told cinema owners to all over Punjab not to screen Akaal movie and he requested other Sikh Organizations to join this cause.
This Akaal movie is starring Gippy Grewal, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Nimrat Khaira and other well-known actors from Punjabi film industry and its scheduled to release on April 10 2025
