Director Honey Trehan Declines Donations After Satluj's Early Removal from Zee5PreviousNext

Director Honey Trehan's film Satluj, a biopic on human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra starring Diljit Dosanjh, premiered on Zee5 on July 3 but was removed two days later due to certification issues. Despite financial losses, Trehan thanked supporters but requested they not send donations, clarifying that any funds collected, including gullaks in Gurudwaras, are not accepted by the film's team. He emphasized gratitude for the support and said the team has embraced the film as part of their legacy.
