Controversy
Grewal faced strong opposition in Punjab over his film Akaal: The Unconquered. Several Sikh organisations protested against the film, raising questions about Grewal’s character as well. These groups claimed that the film distorted Sikh history, pointing out that there is no historical evidence of the main character, Akaal Singh. Moreover, the film shows several Sikh characters consuming meat and alcohol, which goes against Sikh religious beliefs. Grewal was also criticised for wearing a fake beard in his role, which many people found disrespectful. Questions were also raised about Nimrat Khaira’s character. Additionally, several screenings of the film were cancelled at various locations.
