Diljit Dosanjh shared the message on social media.

A few days back a local court in Ludhiana ordered a stay on the release. The court ordered a stay on the film’s release after Patiala-based Ishdeep Randhawa moved court alleging that Ludhiana-based Gurmail Kaur, the first wife of Chamkila, had given the rights to make the biopic to his father Gurdev Singh Randhawa via a written agreement signed on October 12, 2012.

The court has also stayed the “broadcast, release and streaming” of another biopic on the couple, titled Chamkila starring Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra in lead roles.
