Punjabi singer Ranjit Bawa has extended his support for the upcoming historical drama Guru Nanak Jahaz, starring Tarsem Jassar and Gurpreet Ghuggi. The film, which explores the tragic Komagata Maru incident, is slated for release on May 1, 2025.
Directed by Sharan Art and produced by Manpreet Johal, Guru Nanak Jahaz aims to bring an important chapter of history to life. The film is co-written by Harnav Bir Singh and Sharan Art, and its recently released teaser has already captured widespread attention for its intense storytelling, direction, and performances.
Tarsem Jassar leads the cast, supported by Gurpreet Ghuggi, Edward Sonnenblick, and Mark Bennington. The teaser offers a glimpse into a gripping narrative filled with emotion, struggle, and high-octane drama, promising to keep audiences engaged.
The film is based on the Komagata Maru incident of 1914, in which a Japanese steamship carrying 376 Punjabi immigrants was denied entry into Canada due to racially discriminatory immigration policies. The ship’s forced return to India led to a violent clash with British authorities, resulting in 22 deaths.
With the support of artists like Ranjit Bawa, Guru Nanak Jahaz has generated immense anticipation among audiences. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await a powerful cinematic portrayal of this significant historical event.
