Honey Trehan reveals how Diljit Dosanjh instantly agreed to star in ‘Satluj’

Director Honey Trehan has revealed that actor Diljit Dosanjh immediately signed onto the biographical drama ‘Satluj’ (formerly ‘Punjab ’95’) after reading its very first draft, long before production faced a turbulent multi-year delay. The revelation resurfaced after the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry ordered the OTT platform to pull the film down within 48 hours of its surprise digital premiere, citing non-compliance with the IT Rules, 2021. The film, which also stars Arjun Rampal, follows the real-life crusade of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who investigated illegal police abductions and secret mass cremations during the Punjab insurgency before being murdered himself in 1995.
