‘A Flying Jatt’ to cut scenes that could offend Sikhs?

Tiger Shroff’s next is Remo D’Souza’s upcoming movie ‘A Flying Jatt’. The movie, which is about a Punjabi superhero, is apparently facing problems just before its release.

As reported by Bollywood Hungama, a statement released by Avtar Singh Makkar, Chief of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) said that ‘A Flying Jatt’ contains parts which could cause tension and potentially hurt the religious sentiments of the Sikh Community. The Committee has asked the makers to remove some of the controversial contents to avoid any strain. The superhero character played by Shroff in the movie has a mark on his back of a ‘khanda’. The symbol and his attire in the movie could cause offence, according to the SGPC, and they have asked for it to be removed. After reviewing the movie, SGPC asked ‘A Flying Jatt’ team to cut some of the scenes.

‘A Flying Jatt’ is produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Nathan Jones. It is scheduled to release on 25th August.
