Nanak Shah Fakir is a 2015 film on the life and teachings of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.[1] The film has been directed by Sartaj Singh Pannu[1][2][3] and starts Arif Zakaria, Puneet Sikka, Adil Hussain, Shraddha Kaul, Anurag Arora, Narendra Jha and Govind Pandey.
The film is the story of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak, the first Guru of the Sikhs. It briefly covers his birth and early years, but focuses more on the journey he took with his friend and disciple Bhai Mardana (Arif Zakaria) to various parts of India to spread the divine message. It also briefly dwells into the family and social bonds of Nanak.
Controversy
The movie is facing criticism after release of trailers for depicting Guru Nanak in movie.[4] Sikh group Dal Khalsa warn against release of movie.[5] Damdami Taksal also submit memo to Akal Takht jathedar against film.:[6]
The movie has courted another controversy after Sartaj Singh Pannu write-director of Nanak Shah Fakir has moved to Delhi High Court against producers Harinder Singh Sikka and Oscar winning sound artiste Resul Pookutty. Sartaj singh Pannu, in his petition, reportedly maintained that he had worked on the project as the film director for over two years. However, he “was taken aback” after noticing Harinder Sikka’s name as director in the movie trailer.
Approval by Akal TaKhat
On 22 January 2015, the Jathedar, Gurbachan Singh wrote to Harinder Singh the following:
"The file made by you on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak and sikh religion titled "Nanak Shah Fakir" is praise worthy, we congratulate you. his is a fine example of promotion of sikh faith.
May the almighty Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji bless you and grant you success in life and religious cause."
