MUMBAI: As soon as it was announced that Diljit Dosanjh will be essaying the role of Jaswant Singh Khalra in his biopic, a lot of feathers were apparently ruffled.  People staged protests where the shooting of was going on as they feel that Diljit Dosanjh should not play his role. The biopic is directed by Talvar director Honey Trehan.

A group of Sikhs are not happy with Diljit playing the role of Shaheed Jaswant Singh Khalra as he is not pious according to them and is too westernised to play their hero. And now, it is being said that while shooting the film, Diljit had a lot of starry tantrums.

A portal stated, "Diljit had demanded Mercedes from the production team to travel on the sets. And while his Mercedes waits for him to take him back home, the air condition of the car should be on as he cannot bear even little hot weather inside the car. If the shooting is for 12 hours, the car's AC will be on for that very 12 hours." Diljit's driver was asked by the team why does he keep the AC on every time in the car when Diljit is not present. He replied to them, "Hamare saahab ko garmi bardaasht nahi hoti." The production team was irked with this starry attitude of Diljit as the cost of the film was increasing due to this.

Adding further the source said, "Diljit is a well mannered and behaved actor. He doesn't throw tantrums on sets but yes, he does have that starry attitude that he likes to show off, especially when he is shooting in his home town Punjab. He likes to live like a STAR in his city."

Jaswant Singh Khalra was a human rights activist who after the assassination of Indira Gandhi and the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots, researched and created a list of Sikh men who went missing as the police at that time were reportedly accused of killing unarmed suspects in staged shootouts and detaining suspects for any reason.
