SCOOP!! & NEWS Sikhs miffed at disrespect to Gurbani in Bollywood movie25th Dec 2004 18.00 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau A sequence in Anil Sharma’s latest movie Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo has angered the Sikh community. ATHWS is a jingoistic flick with Amitabh Bachchan playing a Sikh character.
According to an agency report, Sikhs from the apex body Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) say they are miffed with an advertisement of a liquor company while a religious verse was being recited in the film. The said sequence in the film shows Bachchan’s character Amarjeet Singh reciting verses from Gurbani while a whiskey advertisement is shown running in the backdrop. Jaswinder Singh, Advocate of the SGPC, expressed anger at the sequence: “At the same time Gurbani is being recited and on the other hand they are showing a liquor ad, a thing, which is completely prohibited in our religion. We Sikhs are hurt by such portrayal.” The SGPC has reportedly lodged a complaint with the police and have threatened to start an agitation if the objectionable part was not removed from the film. Jaswinder Singh said the complaint was filed against film's director Anil Sharma , Sony Entertainment Channel and the liquor company demanding action against them. Besides Amitabh, ‘ATHWS’ also stars Akshay Kumar , Bobby Deol and newcomer Divya Khosla . | CRICKET ZONE Live Cricket Coverage Song Lyrics ALSO READ scoop ~ The Bachchans in a magical fable ~ 'Rang Rasiya' adds Indian color to Cannes ~ Steamy roles not a taboo for Tabu ~ Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones to shoot in India ~ 'Friend' slaps Jannat actress publicly ~ 'Drona' not to clash with 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' ~ Shah Rukh Khan to sport a spiky look in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' ~ Ugly Aur Pagli : Movie Preview / Slideshow ( more in scoop ) happenings ~ Irrfan Khan wants to do a variety of roles ~ Paris museum to celebrate Bollywood stars ( more in happenings ) AKC HOT INDEX ECARDS > New Year, Diwali, Birthday, Valentines, Love, Christmas MOVIES Jannat, Bhoothnath, Jimmy, Anamika, Tashan, U Me Aur Hum, Race, Mr. White Mr. Black, Jodhaa Akbar, Taare Zameen Par, Krazzy 4, Ugly Aur Pagli , Woodstock Villa , Sarkar Raj , Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic MUSIC Woodstock Villa , Tashan celebs» the celeb A-Z who's in » Katrina Kaif | Rani Mukherjee | Aishwarya Rai | Gayatri Joshi | Mallika Sherawat | Bipasha Basu | Preity Zinta | Priyanka Chopra | Kajol | Neha Dhupia | Kareena Kapoor | Shahrukh Khan | Salman Khan | Aamir Khan | Hrithik Roshan | Akshay Kumar | Vivek Oberoi | Sameera Reddy | Juhi Chawla | Sneha Ullal | John Abraham | Karisma Kapoor | Zayed Khan | Saif Ali Khan | Madhuri Dixit | Zeenat Aman | Payal Rohatgi | Abhishek Bachchan | Lisa Ray | Dimple Kapadia | Ayesha Takia | Dia Mirza | Sushmita Sen | Amisha Patel | Esha Deol | Amitabh Bachchan | Meghna Naidu | Amrita Rao | Arjun Rampal | Mahima Chaudhary | Amrita Arora | Vidya Balan | Raima Sen | Riya Sen | Rekha | Rakhi Sawant | Rimi Sen | Bhumika Chawla | Nigar Khan | Tanushree Dutta | Yana Gupta | Deepal Shaw | Shilpa Shetty | Celina Jaitley | Deepika Padukone | Ranbir Kapoor | Sonam Kapoor | more... |
