'Nanak Shah Fakir' trailer: This journey of the Sikh guru will keep you engrossed

The makers of 'Nanak Shah Fakir' recently dropped the official trailer from the film and it seems like a riveting affair. The film is based on the life and teachings of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev.
Akshay Kumar shared the trailer on his Twitter account and wrote, "Guru Nanak Dev Ji's journey across the world, spreading the message of 'Ik Onkar' will be witnessed this Vaisakhi.Watch the official trailer of @NSF_Film here! @Viacom18Movies #GurbaniMedia @TSeries @arrahman".
In the film, Guru Nanak has been portrayed through computer graphics, from the back and amidst a ray of light. Music plays an important role in the film and to ensure authenticity, the instruments used in recording are similar to those used in 1400-1500 A.D.

For the uninitiated, the film courted controversy for almost three years now. It had released on April 17, 2015, but had to be withdrawn from the cinema halls. Various Sikh organisations were up in arms against the film saying that it violated the Sikh maryada by portraying Guru and his family members in human form. However, the film was well-received at the Cannes Films Festival in 2014, at Toronto (October 2014) and Los Angeles (November 2014).
