‘A Flying Jatt’ hurts the religious sentiments of Sikhs

22nd July 2016

Just a couple of days ago the trailer of Tiger Shroff- Jacqueline Fernandez starrer 'A Flying Jatt' was released and was trending since then. Tiger Shroff, who plays a Sikh lad has been successful in portraying one of the funniest superheroes of all times saving the world from danger. But the Sikh community is miffed with the makers of the film for misusing the Sikh religious symbol 'Khanda.'

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) conducted a meeting on Thursday and decided to sue the makers of the film. They demanded that use of 'Khanda', a Sikh religious symbol, by Tiger on his back and his attire be removed from the film. SGPC Additional Secretary Diljit Singh Bedi said "the film's producers were trying to provoke the Sikhs and would be responsible for the consequences." SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar said, "This is hurting religious sentiments of the Sikhs."

'A Flying Jatt' is directed by Remo D'Souza and will release on August 25, 2016.
