As part of the campaign, the villagers installed a separate golak (donation box) named after the film outside the historic Guru Tegh Bahadur Charan Chho Gurdwara. The money collected will be handed over to the film’s producer to help offset the financial losses suffered due to the ban on the film.
Village panchayat member Amrik Sharma said the initiative was aimed at supporting producer Honey Trehan, who had incurred financial losses. He added that the effort was also intended to encourage filmmakers to work on social issues.
Gurdwara Committee president Dalveer Singh praised Trehan and actor Diljit Dosanjh for bringing the film to audiences. The villagers said the donation box would remain at the gurdwara for a month to allow more people to contribute.
