Name of the director for this movie Nanak Shah Fakir
It looks like the there are some people trying to put wrong information about title of this movie, this movie has been produced by Harinder S. Sikka, under banner Gurbani Media. Sartaj Singh Pannu, whose name is getting flag continuously on this article page was not the only one who worked for this movie; Sartaj Singh Pannu, a self proclaimed director of Nanak Shah Fakir moved to the Delhi High Court against producers Harinder Singh Sikka and Oscar winning sound artiste Resul Pookutty. Sartaj Singh Pannu, in his petition, reportedly maintained that he had worked on the project as the film director.

Discussion regarding reference to Sikh Tenets
I would like to start a discussion regarding the statement that: Depiction of Guru Nanak through human actors, violates Sikh tenets. As this article was protected in 2015 we will extend the discussion period to at least 2 weeks Tindy1986 (talk) 22:41, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Summary For maintaining the statement

 * This is a well established principle in Islam and Sikhism was heavily influenced by Islam.
 * The Akhal Takht and SGPC have issued views against the film

Summary Against the statement

 * Sikhism does not have a priestly or hierarchical structure to its religion, which can often dispense Sikh Laws for Sikhs to follow. It's religious scriptures do not have any explicit laws/statements but instead flexible, metaphorical poems. Therefore only general principles are often drawn form SGGS. Such a specific "rule" or "law" cannot be stated as it could never be backed explicitly and unopposed by passages from SGGS.
 * The Akhal Takht and SGPC have issued views for the film
 * The Akhal Takht and SGPC have never stated that their view against the film is based on depiction of Guru Nanak but because "screening of the film could create unrest and [sic] vitiate peace"
 * The Akhal Takht is a seat of Temporal Authority. They act in political, security, structural maintenance, dispute resolution and financial roles. They provide guidance and opinions to Sikhs as a seat of Temporal Authority not provide religious laws which come from SGGS the seat of Sikh Spiritual Power. It is arguable that such a statement is of more relevance to Spiritual Authority than Temporal.
