Even as the release of Panjab ’95, the biopic on human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, remains uncertain, Honey Trehan has found another story in the same state. The director has begun scripting the biopic of legendary Punjabi poet and writer Shiv Kumar Batalvi. “Jaswant Singh Khalra and he were different from each other, but they both were spiritual,” he smiles.
