Synopsis
The film is based on Baba Deep Singh, the great Sikh warrior who made the supreme sacrifice while protecting Golden Temple from Afghans. All roles of Sikhs in “Anokhe Amar Shaheed Baba Deep Singh ji” have been performed by Keshdhari Sikhs. Actors for the Khalsa Army were taken from Bir Khalsa Gatka Dal of Tarn Taran and Amritsar. Even the roles of Sikh women retaliating against the callous enemy were enacted by Sikh women actors. The first cinemascope Punjabi feature film on Sikh history has been produced with a budget of Rs 2.5 crore.
The film portrays two major battles of Baba Deep Singh, who with his Sikh soldiers, warded off Ahmed Shah Abdali’s attempts to take looted jewellery and about 33,000 Hindu and Muslim girls to his country. The movie revolves around the battles fought by Sikh soldiers under the command of Baba Deep Singh Ji against Ahmed Shah Abdali's forces which were trying to loot wealth and abduct Hindu girls.
