Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh is all set to enthral the audiences with his next project. He is going to play activist Jaswant Singh Khalra in Punjab '95. On Saturday, Diljit unveiled his first look from the upcoming film.

In the first look, Diljit is seen in a kurta and turban. He is seen sitting on the floor and his face smeared with blood and is bruised.

Sharing the poster, he captioned it, “I Challenge the Darkness."

Punjab '95 is based on the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra. The film grabbed the headlines last year when it faced challenges with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which recommended between 85 to 120 cuts.

As per a report in  Mid-Day, the censor board asked to remove Khalra’s name from the film.

As per reports, CBFC has also asked the makers, Honey Trehan and Ronnie Screwvala, to reconsider the title of the film, which references the year Khalra disappeared. Khalra went missing in September 1995, and after 10 years, six Punjab police officers were convicted for his murder.
