Seven years ago, Sikh youth had pelted stones at a local theatre in Amritsar which was screening the Akshay starrer Singh is Kinng, alleging that the film depicts the community in a distorted manner. The film got a green signal from the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) only after it asked producer Vipul Shah to insert a disclaimer and an apology at the beginning of the film.
Singh is Bling is expected to hit the theatres on October 2.
