After Nanak Shah Fakir row, Akal Takht sets up censor board to review movies related to Sikhism

The board will have 21 members, including Sikh clergy and experts. [caption id=“attachment_4426185” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]Poster for Nanak Shah Fakir/Image from Twitter.

He said the censor board will ensure that there is no distortion of the Sikh religious affairs and the community is not shown in poor light. Makers of Bollywood film Nanak Shah Fakir had run into trouble with the community, after which the Akal Takht banned the film and later even excommunicated its producer Harinder Singh Sikka from the community.
