Mumbai, March 1 (IANS) "Nanak Shah Fakir", an inspirational film based on the life and work of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak, will ring in Baisakhi as it will release on April 13.

Sikka said: "'Nanak Shah Fakir' is not just an epic film about the amazing journey of Guru Nanak Devji but calling to a better way of life that we want the audiences to experience. The film is a representation of Guruji's teachings that hold great relevance even today.

"The film follows Guru Nanak Devji's journey across the globe, spreading the message of 'Ik Onkar' (there's but one God), equality of all religions, castes and gender."

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has vetted the film that has been modified based on their feedback.

"This film is not for profit and any profit will be donated to charitable causes in keeping with the Guruji's philosophy of 'Kirat Karo… Vundh Chhako' (live honestly and share with others)," Sikka added.
