Diljit Dosanjh's Selfless Act: Charging Re 1 for 'Satluj' Role
Actor Diljit Dosanjh recently made headlines for his remarkable gesture in the film 'Satluj', where he charged only Re 1 for his role as activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. In an interview, Dosanjh expressed his feelings about taking money for portraying a character who dedicated his life to human rights.
“It was shameful to charge for portraying Jaswant Singh Khalra. I asked for Re 1 as a token amount,” Dosanjh revealed.
Director Honey Trehan shed more light on Dosanjh's commitment to the project, highlighting that the actor was on board despite the film facing censorship issues. Trehan emphasized Dosanjh's respect for Khalra's story and his eagerness to bring it to the big screen.
The Real-Life Inspiration: Jaswant Singh Khalra
Jaswant Singh Khalra was a bank clerk turned human rights activist from Punjab. His courageous investigation into alleged cremations brought national attention to the issue, making him a prominent figure in the fight for justice.
The film 'Satluj' aims to honor Khalra's legacy, and with Diljit Dosanjh on board for a symbolic fee, the project showcases the actor's dedication to meaningful storytelling.
