In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, actor and singer Ammy Virk spoke about the changing faces of Sikhs in Bollywood.
He said he is happy with the representation changes, adding that he and Diljit Dosanjh are two of the few Sikh actors now spearheading mainstream Hindi films.
Saunkan Saunkanay 2, Virk’s latest, is a sequel to one of his biggest comedies.
‘They could have shown Sikhs as sophisticated people…’
Change
Looking back at the past representation of his community, Virk admitted to a “character assassination” in earlier films.
He proposed filmmakers could have shown Sikhs as sophisticated people instead of basing their personalities on comic relief.
