MUMBAI: Sadda Haq is a Punjabi historical drama movie based in the late 1980‘s and early 1990‘s which was a period of extreme turmoil in Punjab. Directed by Mandeep Benipal and produced by Kuljinder Singh Sidhu, the makers of the film are in the process of getting it dubbed in English and Hindi.
The reason behind dubbing the movie in other two languages was as they got lot of demand from overseas as well as different parts of India. The dubbing of the movie has already started and is likely to be completed in a month, after recently getting a clearance from the supreme court. The translated edition may also be screened in a few cinema halls.
Since the film was based on the Khalistan militancy period in Punjab, it involved a lot of controversy following the ban on its screening by the governments of Punjab, Delhi and the union territory Chandigarh.
In this case, the controversy came to the highlight since the film was objected to two-three times by the censor board and once by the state governments.
As per the media reports, the film has been successfully screened for the past three weeks in Mumbai and was the biggest Punjabi film in terms of gross collections in UK and US where it has been screened for almost one month now.
The movie will hit theatres across the country on 10 May.
