Honey Trehan Movie: Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming film 'Punjab '95' is based on the life of social worker Jaswant Singh Khalda. People have a lot of expectations from this film, but the film is facing a lot of problems from the Censor Board. The director of the film had recently claimed that CBFC was asking to make many cuts in the film to hide the real truth of the film. Now the director is in pain due to the film not getting approval from CBFC.

Diljit Dosanjh Honey Trehan, director of the film Punjab 95, has narrated his story. He says that it has been three years since the film was submitted to the Censor Board, but the approval has not been received yet. Expressing his pain on his social media, he has written that this film is like a small lamp burning in a corner, which tries to spread light around itself.

Honey Trehan posted Insta story

Honey Trehan posted a story on his Instagram and wrote in it that we still have hope that one day that lamp will definitely light in some corner of CBFC. Maybe I'm expecting too much. In the end he has written the words of Jaswant Singh Khalda, I challenge the darkness. Diljeet has also shared this post further.

sent for approval three years ago

Honey Trehan wrote on the story, "Waheguru ji's Khalsa, Waheguru ji's Fateh! Today is 22nd December. On this day, 3 years ago, our film Punjab 95 was submitted to the CBFC (Censor Board) for certification. Today 22nd December is also the Prakash Parv of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. If the circumstances had not been so bitter, this coincidence would have probably looked good. But the truth is that the people in power are not aware of the truth. Afraid of our history. The Washington Post's tagline, which is closer to our situation, is "Democracy dies in darkness."

A lamp will be lit in the corner of CBFC

Honey Trehan further writes, "Just like one lamp is enough to defeat darkness, similarly to defeat ignorance, a small lamp burning in some corner, which tries to spread light around itself. This is the only hope. Even today, there is hope that one day that lamp will definitely burn in some corner of CBFC. Perhaps I am expecting too much, I challenge the darkness. - Jaswant Singh Khalda.
