It traces Khalra\u2019s decades-long pursuit of justice for more than 25,000 people who disappeared during Punjab\u2019s insurgency-era crackdowns, and the personal cost of his fight against a system determined to suppress the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe project has carried three names on its way to release. It was originally titled \u201cGhallughara,\u201d a historic term for the massacres of Sikhs in 1746, 1762 and 1984. When RSVP applied for certification from India\u2019s Central Board of Film Certification in late 2022, the six-month process ended with the film cleared for 21 cuts and a mandated title change to \u201cPunjab \u201995.\u201d RSVP appealed that ruling in the Bombay High Court. Around the same time, the film was withdrawn from its planned gala premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival; a source told <em>Variety<\/em> at the time that political factors were involved in that decision.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cWe could not get the previous title of the film. The title is now \u2018Satluj,&#8217;\u201d Trehan said in a statement to <em>Variety<\/em>. \u201cThis is the complete film, without any cuts or compromises, in its original form as we always intended. It wouldn\u2019t have been possible without Diljit paji and our producers and their will to stand for its integrity. As both Diljit paji and I had previously said, we would not endorse a compromised version of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHarish Goyal, territory head for the Americas at ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., added: \u201cFor South Asian audiences across North America, cinema remains an important connection to the history, realities and voices of the subcontinent. With Diljit Dosanjh bringing remarkable honesty and conviction to this deeply meaningful role, we believe \u2018Satluj\u2019 will resonate strongly with audiences here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=3491\">Cannes Winner Diego C\u00e9spedes Preps \u2018Wild\u2019 Second Feature, \u2018The Case of the Boy Who Lost His Heart\u2019 (EXCLUSIVE)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tKaveri Das, business head for Hindi content at ZEE5, said, \u201cThis is a film about courage, resilience, and the fight for justice and it deserves a platform that will stand behind it with conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tProducer Ronnie Screwvala added: \u201cHoney\u2019s passion and conviction made this journey truly special, and from the very beginning, we knew there was no one better than Diljit to bring this character to life with the honesty and depth it deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDosanjh, who plays Khalra, said, \u201cBhai Jaswant Singh Khalra ji\u2019s martyrdom and his contribution to humanity were the primary reasons I chose to be a part of this film.
