Singh Is King - Sikhs Against Akshay's Look
Monday, August 04, 2008
The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee protest against the akshay's look in the movie. According to them the film's promos showed a Sikh character wearing a turban, while sporting a French cut. This is not a positive Sikh image. The screening should not be allowed until its makers make changes in the portrayal of Sikh character."

The DSGMC had sought a ban on the movie last Friday for allegedly "ridiculing" the Sikh community and wrote a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit asking her to ban the film in the national Capital, despite the announcement by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex religious body of the Sikhs, that it was up to the audiences to decide if they wanted to watch the film.
