One of the most loved actors in the Punjabi Industry Diljit Dosanjh is all set for his upcoming movie Jogi with director Ali Abbas Zafar, set in the time of the 1984 Sikh riots. The Hindi film narrates a story of resilient friendship and courage in times of adversity set in 1984 in Delhi.
The actor speaking about the riots of 1984 said, "We should not call it riots, the right word is genocide. When there is a two-sided fight between people, then it is a riot. According to me, it should be called a genocide. It is not that it happened to one or a few people. I know it happened collectively, with all of us. If I talk about some incidents, it will be personal. We are talking about it collectively in the film. I have been hearing about it since I was born and we are still living with it. We all have heard a lot of stories and we couldn't believe something like this can happen in life. But, anything can happen."
The actor Further said, "This is not a new story. This film is also talking about the same things that we have grown up listening to. Whatever has happened is there for everyone to see. We have always given a message of positivity. Like in gurudwara, when you seek blessings and then when you are part of a 'langar', where everyone sits together to eat food, this is a message of positivity. We all should know about history. Cinema is a medium where we make light-hearted and fun-loving movies. But we should also do films on such subjects from history too,”
Speaking about The film Jogi, Diljit plays the titular role in the movie which will be available on Netflix from Friday. It is billed as a thrilling and emotional journey of the fighting spirit of three friends, played by Diljit, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and Hiten Tejwani.
