When incidents take place that shock the world, it becomes a perfect platform for filmmakers to raise awareness and represent standing up for righteousness. Rumour has it, that Mahesh Bhatt is planning on making a film based on the Sikh massacre in the Wisconsin, USA Gurudwara and the 1984 Sikh riots that occurred in Delhi.

With the subject being so sensitive it seems Bhatt is taking every precaution possible, in making sure the right message is put across. Talking to the media Hindustan Times��reported the producer stating, “We began from there (USA) for the film, and came back home (India) and asked: Have we delivered justice to our own people, have they got a closure yet? The answer was a resounding no!”

Commenting on the assassination of Sikhs in Winsconsin, Bhatt expressed, “This heinous crime, carried out by hate mongers in US who killed in cold blood, people who were praying… nothing could be more tragic.”

With the project still in it’s early stages, not much else has been revealed. And it looks like audiences will have to wait a while for much else to happen with Bhatt now on the hunt for all the information he can gather about the true events.
