Amritsar, Bollywood's latest release ”Singh is Kinng” drew wrath from Sikh community when a mob of irate protesters disrupted the screening of the film on Friday in Amritsar in Punjab .

”Singh is Kinng” which released on Friday, ran into trouble when a group of protesters brandishing naked swords and sticks, gathered outside Annan theatre in the city and damaged the film posters and display windows at the theatre, causing disruption in the show.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film ”Singh is Kinng”, starring action hero Akshay Kumar and gorgeous Katrina Kaif had generated a lot of interest amongst the audiences before its release.

The protesters alleged the movie projected the Sikh community in a negative light.

We will not let ”Singh is Kinng” run in any of the theater in Punjab . They (film makers) have made fun of Sikhs in the movie. How can they show a Sikh, who is a follower of guru, dancing and romancing semi nude women in the film? It is not acceptable to us. They have portrayed a Sikh as a comedian and have ridiculed the Sikhs. We cannot tolerate it, said Kashmir Singh, a protester.
