Jalandhar, January 23

The first-ever cinematic tribute to Bhagat Puran Singh, Pingalwara founder and noted environmentalist and scholar, will be released on January 30.

The cast and crew of the film, Eh Janam Tumhare Lekhe, were in the city today. The film is a joint effort of Whitehill Productions and the Pingalwara, Amritsar. Directed by Harjit Singh, the film portrays the journey of Bhagat Puran Singh’s life.

President of the Pingalwara Charitable Trust Inderjit Kaur said, “About 22 years ago, Harjit (director of the film) came to us with the idea of making a documentary on Bhagat Ji. While things didn’t work out at that time, we are very happy that people across the world will finally be able to hear his message yet again.”

Actor Pavan Malhotra said, “Bhagat Puran Singh was a multifaceted personality. It’s time the concerns he raised are spoken about through cinema and otherwise.”
