Rise of The Khalsa at Fremont on Wednesday
WSN Bureau 

Fremont: Documentry film maker Jagmeet Samundri is in Bay Area with his award wining film The Rise of Khalsa. The film was screened at Gurudwara El Sobrante last Saturday. Next screening has been fixed at Gurdwara Fremont on Wednesday. The film will be shown at other gurdwaras of California before he leaves for East Coast NY and Chicago area. 

 Jagmeet Samundri is a film director based in Mumbai. He makes ad films, corporate films and documentary films. He recently did a big corporate film for Sunlife Insurance. Jagmeet has trained himself as a director by working as an assistant director in Ajay Devgan’s camp with his father Veeru Devgan. Born at Village Masoor Pur near Mukerian, Dist Hoshiarpur, Punjab, he did his Masters in Mass Communication from Panjab University Chandigarh.

The Rise of Khalsa was selected for screening at Newyork International film festival at Los Angeles. Lots of people from Sikh community as well Americans, Chinese, Spanish saw this film and were greatly impressed by this piece of work. Americans who saw the film said Sikhism is a great religion. This film is produced by Baljeet Mannku. This is a 43 minute documentary and it took more than 2 years to make this film. This film depicts the story of Guru Gobind Singh and his fight against Mughals. Jagmeet's purpose in making this film is to educate the youth abroad and to promote Sikhism worldwide.

Next project on which Jagmeet Samundri is working is again on Khalsa Panth but that film has got a larger canvas than the last film. It will talk more details about Guru Gobind Singh and will also talk about the unsung heroes of Khalsa Panth about whom very few people know.
