About Satluj

Inspired by the life and work of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, Satluj tells the story of one man's unwavering determination to uncover the truth during one of Punjab's most troubled chapters. The film follows his courageous efforts to investigate the disappearance of more than 25,000 people during the state's insurgency-era crackdown, despite facing immense pressure, intimidation and personal risk.

Rather than presenting itself as a conventional biographical drama, Satluj is more about justice, accountability and the human cost of political violence. Set against the backdrop of fear and unrest, it highlights the emotional devastation experienced by families searching for answers while examining the moral complexities surrounding state power and civil liberties.In a statement Diljit Dosanjh shared that he chose the project because of the activist's extraordinary sacrifice and the story's deep emotional impact. He said, "When I first heard the script, it moved me deeply, as it is rooted in the lived experiences, struggles and sacrifices of real people. As an artist, opportunities to be part of such meaningful stories are rare." The actor-singer stated that he viewed portraying the role as a responsibility and one of the most meaningful experiences of his career.
