Nanak Shah Fakir is a controversial 2018 film on the life of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji, produced by Gurbani Media Pvt Ltd. It has been mired in controversies with protests from Sikhs asking for a ban on the film.
The supreme Sikh body, Akal Takht, and the SGPC recently announced a ban on the movie, as the movie is claimed to depict Guru Nanak and other prominent Sikh figures (Bebe Nanaki, Bhai Mardana) through human actors, which violates Sikh tenets. A related resolution adopted by the SGPC in 2003 had prohibited human actors from playing the roles of Sikh Gurus or their family members. The Government of Punjab has decided against allowing the release of the film. The film producer Harinder Sikka, while announcing his intentions to not release the film in Punjab given the controversies, had in parallel also appealed to the Supreme Court of India to allow for the release of the film. The Supreme court has cleared the film for release, citing the certification provided by India's Central Board for Film Certification.

Re Release
SGPC has revoked its decision to release of 'Nanak Shah Fakir', Mr H Sikka not even bothered to appear in the meeting called by SGPS. I'm not sure it will be released or not or when will it be released but one this is sure that it is a shear violation of Sikh principles and hence should not be released.
