Almost eight years after he fronted Punjab 1984 (2014), Diljit Dosanjh is ready to revisit the subject of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots with Jogi. This time around, the actor has collaborated with director Ali Abbas Zafar as they study the aftermath of the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, through the lens of three friends in Delhi. The Netflix film traces Jogi — essayed by Dosanjh — who attempts to flee the capital and take his family to Punjab, in the wake of violence against the community.
