Movie, web-series on Sikh Army commander-in-chief Hari Singh Nalwa in pipeline

Almighty Motion Picture will be making a web-series and a movie on Hari Singh Nalwa, the commander-in-chief of the Sikh Khalsa Fauj, the military force of the Sikh Empire. 

Those behind the project will adapt the book Hari Singh Nalwa: Champion of the Khalsaji by Vanit Nalwa, a descendent of Hari Singh Nalwa. 

Speaking about the project, producer Prabhleen Kaur said in an official statement, “It’s the biggest pride for any Sikh to get an opportunity to even be a tiny part of a project on S. Hari Singh Nalwa ji and I feel it's a huge blessing of Guru Nanak Dev ji and my grandfather Sant Baba Jaswant Singh Ji that Vanit Nalwa ji gave me this fortunate opportunity to produce such a legendary chapter of Indian History [sic].” 

We @AlmightyMotion Picture are extremely elated and proud to have acquired the rights to the official biopic of the great legend S. Hari Singh Nalwa ji authored by @VanitNalwa who is a direct descendant of the great warrior.#HariSinghNalwa #VanitNalwa #PrabhleenKaur pic.twitter.com/GugRSuXQjx

According to an official statement shared by the makers, Vanit Nalwa took 12 years to research and write the book. 

Describing the story of her illustrious ancestor, Vanit Nalwa said, “It is a story waiting to be told. The most empowering history of the nineteenth century (in the Indian subcontinent). When all the regional powers were succumbing to the East India Company, a new empire was being consolidated in the Northwest with the Afghan Empire to its west and the East India Company along the other frontier. It is a story of empowerment, courage, loyalty and complete dedication to the cause of the nation.” 

In January this year, there were reports about Ajay Devgn making a film on Hari Singh Nalwa. But there hasn’t been any official announcement in this regard yet.
