Chandigarh, May 3 (IANS) A court in Punjab's Ludhiana has stayed the release of Punjabi film 'Jodi Teri Meri', a biopic starring Diljit Dosanjh on the late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila and his second wife Amarjot Kaur.
The film is slated for release worldwide on May 5th but it is releasing a day before on May 4th in Canada.
Civil Judge (Junior Division) Karandeep Kaur has ordered to issue summons to Dosanjh, actress Nimrat Khaira, Gurmail Kaur, the wife of Chamkila, Karaj Gill of Rhythm Boyz Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Daljit Thind of Daljit Motions Films returnable by May 8, the next date of hearing.
The order on Tuesday came weeks after another court in Ludhiana had stayed the "broadcast, release and streaming" of another biopic on the couple, titled 'Chamkila'.
Chamkila and Amarjot Kaur were gunned down on March 8, 1988, during militancy in Punjab.
"From the documents, a prima facie case is made out in favour of plaintiff (Ishdeep Randhawa). Balance of convenience is also in his favour and if defendants are not restrained from releasing the film 'Jodi Teri Meri", then an irreparable loss will be caused to the plaintiff, which cannot be compensated with any cost," says the order.
"Accordingly, defendants are hereby restrained from releasing the film on May 5 except in due course of law till next date of hearing (May 8)," added the order.
KK was in the city to perform at a function in Nazrul Manch organised by the Gurudas College. It has been learnt that KK felt sick while he was performing.
The mother could not stop looking at her son's lifeless body. His father broke down and then she turned to wipe his tears. A sea of fans and mourners gathered at the singer's village Moosa for the cremation, which took place on Tuesday afternoon.
He was on the wheel in Mahindra Thar SUV when the assailants, believed to be 10-12, fired more than 20 rounds at point-blank range at the singer and his two friends, who got grievous injuries. Moosewala got seven-eight bullets.
Punjabi actor-singer Ammy Virk is set to headline the film 'Oye Makhna' with director Simerjit Singh at the helm of affairs. The film, a rom-com, also stars Tania Singh, who was last seen with Ammy in the super-hit 'Qismat 2'.
Guru Randhawa has penned the lyrics and Honey Singh the signature rap lyrics, the two have jointly composed the track. He shares about the collaboration: "Fans have been waiting for a collaboration like this and we are happy that Bhushan Kumar made this happen! Looking forward to the audience's reaction and we hope they enjoy the track."
