In 2007, the Punjab and Haryana High Court enhanced their punishment from seven years to life imprisonment.132173109Satluj has been one of the most talked-about unreleased films in recent years because of its prolonged battle with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Reports suggested that the board proposed around 120 cuts and also objected to the film's title. The controversy delayed its release for years and sparked widespread discussion within the film industry.More about SatlujThe title itself changed more than once during the film's journey. It was initially called Ghalughara, before being renamed Panjab '95. Even after discussions over the certification, the title had to be changed once again, eventually becoming Satluj. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) also reportedly intervened during the certification process, following objections raised over the title and edits.The film's release troubles did not end there. In 2023, Panjab '95 was selected to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

The actor shared that the script moved him because it is rooted in the real-life struggles, courage and sacrifices of people whose stories deserve to be told. According to Diljit, Khalra's life was the biggest reason he decided to become part of the project.Directed by Honey Trehan, Satluj brings historical events with a personal story of courage and justice. The film has a talented supporting cast, including Arjun Rampal, Surinder Vicky, Varun Badola and Geetika Vidya Ohlan, who play key roles alongside Diljit.With its long-delayed release finally becoming a reality, Satluj gives audiences the opportunity to watch one of the most discussed Punjabi-language films of recent years.
