The teaser of Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming film Jogi is out. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the film will release directly on Netflix. Jogi revolves around the 1984 Sikh Riots following the assassination of the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.
In the 40-second teaser, we can see how the happiness of a family was disrupted suddenly after three gunshots were fired in Delhi. Immediately after that, we can hear a voice saying Delhi will burn, and people should escape to Punjab, which might be the safest at that point in time. However, Diljit’s character emphasises that he will not go anywhere, and not leave anyone behind. The teaser sets the scene in Delhi moments before the 1984 tragedy and the aftermath as Jogi fights for family, brotherhood and unity against all odds.
