Diljit Dosanjh revealed the first look of his upcoming film 'Punjab 95' today, offering fans an intense glimpse of his character as activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. The actor-singer, celebrated for his versatility, shared the first look on Instagram, giving a sneak peek into his portrayal of Khalra in the film. The caption read, "I Challenge the Darkness".
In the first image, Diljit Dosanjh is captured sitting on the floor in a raw and rugged look, dressed in a simple kurta and turban. His bloodied and bruised face conveys a powerful sense of pain and resilience. Another photo gives a glimpse into Khalra's personal life, showing Diljit as Khalra, posing with two children, offering a heartfelt preview of the activist's real-life journey.
Before unveiling the first-look images, Diljit teased his fans with a post that read, "Much awaited film is about to be released in Feb. So we had to postpone the album. Stay tuned folks". As reported by Mid-day, the film made headlines last year when it encountered significant challenges with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which proposed between 85 to 120 cuts. One of the most controversial suggestions made by the CBFC was the removal of activist Jaswant Singh Khalra’s name from the film.
