In view of the Sikh sentiments, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has completely banned the portrayal of Sikh Gurus and their family members through all sought of films till further decision.
This decision was taken in the SGPC’s Dharam Prachar Committee (DPC) meeting held in Amritsar, which was presided over by SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami.

SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami said that due to the ongoing trend of making films on the Sikh Gurus and their family members, there has been a resentment among the Sikh Sangat, in view of which, the SGPC has decided to ban their portrayal through all kinds of films.
He said that on this serious matter, objections from various religious sabha societies and Sangat had been reaching SGPC repeatedly, due to which, films related to Sikh Gurus and their family members will be banned until the further decision.
