‘Satluj’ writer Niren Bhatt dismisses ‘marketing stunt’ claims for Diljit Dosanjh starrer: ‘We made the film for theatres and hoped that the film would travel well through word of mouth like ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’

Rejecting speculations of a marketing gimmick, writer Niren Bhatt states that Satluj’s removal from Zee5 was a result of government orders over security issues, not an attempt to boost its theatrical release. He stressed the film’s intended cinematic experience and cautioned audiences against pirated versions currently in circulation. Bhatt advocates for patience until an official streaming option becomes available, highlighting the film’s historical inspirations and past certification difficulties.
