Satluj plot

The film revolves around human rights activist Jaswant Singh, who challenged the establishment despite facing immense power and silence. Singh believed every missing person deserved to be accounted for.

The story unfolds during a period defined by intense militancy, political violence, unrest and fear. Jaswant Singh undertook a decades-long pursuit of justice to account for over 25,000 missing people who vanished without explanation. His campaign came at an immense personal cost, testing his courage and resilience.

The film reveals the deep trauma of families seeking answers from an establishment intent on hiding the facts.

In a statement, Dosanjh said that Khalra's “martyrdom and his contribution to humanity were the primary reasons” he chose to be a part of the film. He was deeply moved when he heard the script, as it is “rooted in the lived experiences, struggles, and sacrifices of real people.”

“As an artist, opportunities to be part of such meaningful stories are rare. From the moment I heard the script, I felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the film and was committed to portraying such an inspiring character with truth, honesty, and utmost respect. Our film, Satluj, is a story of conviction, courage, and humanity, and portraying this character has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career,” he added.

Trehan added that right from the beginning, their “intention was to tell this story with honesty, sensitivity, and without compromise.”

He is happy that after a long wait, audiences will finally witness Satluj, which he described as a “tribute to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.”
