SGPC panel to clear ‘Singh is Kinng’
WSN Network 

PATIALA: Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Singh is Kinng' film, which is in the final stages of production, would be released only after clearance from a committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). This was decided by film producer Vipul Shah and SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar during the latter's recent visit to Mumbai.  

The SGPC chief said he liked the story about a ‘patit' Sikh (with shorn hair and beard), played by Akshay,who becomes a ‘puran' Sikh by the end of the movie. "If the movie becomes popular, we can use it for the propagation of Sikhism to bring back a large number of ‘patit' Sikhs to the fold," Makkar said.  

The production is expected to be completed by July 12, after which an SGPC committee will view the film, leaving no scope for any controversy at a later stage. Interestingly, the committee will watch the movie before it is sent to the censor board for its clearance. "We have raised some objections and demanded that neces sary changes be made. The director has sought time till July 12 to carry out all rectifications.
