ZEE5 has been directed by the Centre to remove the film 'Satluj', starring Diljit Dosanjh, citing security concerns. The movie, depicting human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra's life in 1990s Punjab, was reportedly released on OTT without accepting 127 cuts suggested by the CBFC. The government emphasized that OTT platforms must adhere to IT Rules 2021, especially regarding content that could affect national security or public order.

Less than two days after debuting on ZEE5, the platform removed the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer from its Indian catalogue for unexplained reasons.

In the light of the current developments, Satluj will be unavailable in India until further notice,’ Zee5 said in a statement.
