Singh Is not Kinng in Amritsar, Punjab 
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, August 8, 2008 - 18:29 IST
Singh Is Kinng, the much awaited film of the recent times opened with a bang today all across the country and all thanks to the pre-publicity overdrive, it has also got the cash registers ringing for its makers. But not all is well for the film, as around 20 Sikh youths indulged in pelting of stones at the Annam theatre in Amritsar, Punjab, and the reason cited as the film depicts the Sikh community in a deformed style. These protestors were armed with swords and portraits of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwala, the slain militant leader. Even though the police arrived on time and took charge of the situation, they were unable to nab the protestors as they had fled the scene immediately after the police's arrival.
What comes as a surprise to everyone is that the film's director Anees Bazmee had always mainlined that there were objections from the Sikh community pertaining to certain scenes in the film, but they had been reshot and the final resultant was approved by the community.
The situation now is that there are armed security personnel who have been posted at the theatres screening the film in Amritsar.
