AMRITSAR SAHIB, Punjab—A day after the official release of the poster for the proposed Bhai Jaita movie, the SGPC appointed Akal Takht Jathedar, Giani Gurbachan Singh, imposed a ban on the production of the movie on January 11. Widespread anger among the Sikh masses about the role of Bhai Jaita Ji being played by Gippy Grewal is being said to be the main reason behind imposition of ban.

Appearing before media, Giani Gurbachan Singh said that the matter has been handed over to the Dharam Prachaar Committee of SGPC.

“The committee will deliberate upon the movie from all aspects and then final decision will be taken”, he added. He confessed that the ban has been imposed following the emergence of widespread anger among Sikh masses after release of poster.

Meanwhile, the producer of the movie has said that he was ready to abide by the instructions from Sri Akal Takht Sahib.

Bhai Jaita Ji is a Sikh of the imtes of Guru Gobind Singh ji, who had delivered the severed head of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji from Delhi to Sri Anandpur Sahib, after he was beheaded by Mughals in Chandi Chowk. Bhai Jaita Ji’s name was changed to Bhai Jeevan Singh after he subsequently requested to be baptized.
