Sikh community has been ridiculed a lot in jokes and also in Hindi cinema as part of comic relief. But it was Akshay who decided to tribute to the simplicity of Sikh life style.

These days Sikhs are the new trend, and soon we will be seeing lots of movies with Sikh main characters in them.

Saif Ali Khan’s Home production picks Imtiaz Ali because he recently gave a big block buster “Jab we met” and Imtiaz decided to give Saif a new avatar of Sardarji; only in some flash back sequences. Saif is also pairing new sizzling Deepika Padukone in this film for the first time; so, all
demanding and desirable elements are captured in the film.

The Sikh Turban is becoming the hottest trend and people will soon watch Salman Khan playing a sardar in Samir Karnik’s multi starrer “Heroes” and would have been nice to watch the fairy-face hot actor Ranbir Kapoor who is also ready to play a sardar in Shimit Amit’s next flick.

In an interview Akshay mentioned about the backdrop of ‘Singh is King’ that how the project started. He read the line “singh is King” behind a rickshaw (a three wheeler) once and liked it and later on we can see how the whole idea emerged into the movie. Now the success of other movies following the Singh trend depends on how other work on their
ideas to emerge as a hit movie.
