Diljit Dosanjh on Jogi
Violence erupted in Delhi and other parts of the country after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984. Over 3,000 Sikhs were killed across India. Most were killed in Delhi. Diljit, who plays the titular role in Jogi, said the film is a "collective" view of the real-life incidents that took place in 1984. The deep-rooted trauma continues to be part of the community, the 38-year-old actor said.
“It is not that it happened to one or a few people. I know it happened collectively, with all of us. If I talk about some incidents, it will be personal.
We are talking about it collectively in the film. I have been hearing about it since I was born and we are still living with it,” Diljit said about the movie and the 1984 riots.
