Censorship issues of Punjab '95
The release of this film saw a lot of hurdles when it was first submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in December 2022, where they requested more than 100 cuts.
One of the most absurd changes suggested by CBFC was the removal of Khalra’s name from the film, which was immediately rejected, according to Mid Day.
They also requested the filmmakers Honey Trehan and Ronnie Screwvala to release the film under different title as ’95 represents the year Khalra disappeared.
The activist vanished in September 1995 and a decade later six police officials were found guilty for his murder.
Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming film Punjab '95 is set to be released in February 2025 which will also star Suvinder Vicky and Arjun Rampal.
