AMRITSAR, May 3 -- Akal Takht acting jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj on Friday asked film-makers and artists to refrain from making movies on historic Sikh figures in violation of the Sikh principles and said a concrete policy would be made for the future in light of resolutions passed by the SGPC, in past in this regard. Addressing a gathering at Akal Takht Sahib, Giani Gargaj said keeping in mind decisions made by the SGPC in 1934, 1940, 2003, 2015 and 2022 regarding films and visuals, a basic policy framework was discussed. The meeting was attended by panthic personalities, Sikh intellectuals, scholars and artists to deliberate on films, animated productions and artificial intelligence (AI) videos related to Sikh Gurus, their family, historical Sikh warriors/martyrs, and various aspects of Sikh history. Scholars emphasised that current technological developments pose significant challenges to Sikh identity, traditions, principles, and philosophy. The meeting was held in the wake of the recently released movie 'Akaal' by Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal on Sikh warriors. Objections were raised by Sikh bodies over this movie. Giani Gargaj said the suggestions received during the meeting will be carefully considered and deliberations will be conducted in accordance with Sikh principles. He added that a committee will soon be constituted to examine suggestions and related aspects, and a draft policy will be prepared in collaboration with SGPC. He said that another session with Sikh experts from the field of technology and AI may be convened shortly. The jathedar also referred to recent statements by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar expressing his desire to make a film on Sikh warrior Hari Singh Nalwa. He made it clear that such a film would not be permitted....
