Punjabi star Diljit Dosanjh has taken the cinematic world by storm with the announcement of his latest film, 'Punjab 95', set to release globally on February 7. The movie, which has been highly anticipated by fans, will debut without any cuts.

Directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies, the film is centered around the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Notably, it will not be screened in India due to complications with the Central Board of Film Certification (CFBC). The cast includes actors like Arjun Rampal and Suvinder Vicky, who have added depth to the movie.

The film sheds light on Khalra's dogged pursuit of justice during the turbulent militancy period in Punjab, particularly focusing on his investigations into human rights violations and the mysterious disappearances of Sikhs during the time. Despite a planned premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, 'Punjab 95' was pulled from the lineup, highlighting the controversies still surrounding Khalra's story.
