“SRK wearing kartar, not kirpan”, Zero makers
In reply to the complaint filed against Shah Rukh Khan’s “Zero”, the filmmakers stated that film has no intention to hurt any religious sentiments.
In the statement, the makers have made it clear that Shah Rukh is not wearing a Kirpan but a dagger popularly known as Katar in the Indian subcontinent. The statement from the spokesperson of the film read, “The concern is duly noted and we wish to respectfully clarify that the film does not depict a Kirpan but in fact has used what is commonly known as a Katar. The filmmakers have been careful not to hurt the feelings of any community including the Sikh community.”
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan landed in trouble as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Delhi and Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) general secretary, Manjinder Singh Sirsa filed a complaint against him for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Sikh community in his upcoming film Zero. In his complaint Sirsa has said that they have received a number of complaints from the Sikh Sangat.
Sirsa alleged that in the promo of the film, Shah Rukh has been shown wearing ‘Gatra Kirpan’ (Article of Sikh Faith) in their film promo which has created an outrage among Sikh community worldwide. The Akali Dal legislator told the police that according to the Sikh Rehat Maryada only an Amritdhari Sikh can wear Gatra Kirpan. He also requested the authorities that the promo of Zero showing actor Shah Rukh Khan wearing Kirpan should be stopped without any delay. He further said that in the promo, the film star not only appears wearing the Kirpan but also the poster shows the star in a lighter mood thereby further showing the Sikh article of faith in a lighter vein. He added that Sikhs cannot tolerate such mischievous acts either in films or in real life. He further said that the community cannot tolerate that any film star or the film itself shows the Sikh tenants or articles of faith in a bad light. “Sikh Guru Sahiban have given enough power and strength to the Sikhs to fight with such situations if they arise in their life,” he added.
