In a press release, the Maharashtra Sikh Association said it expresses "strong reservation against the exploitation and commercialisation of unfortunate tragic chapters of humankind like the Sikh riots by people in the name of creative expression and personal profiteering".
Filmmakers should "desist from disturbing the uneasy calm in society", the Maharashtra Sikh Association said on Monday, days after "The Kashmir Files" director Vivek Agnihotri announced his next movie, "The Delhi Files".
Mr Agnihotri, whose movie "The Kashmir Files" emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, announced his new project last week.
There has been speculation that the 1984 anti-Sikh riots will feature in the filmmaker's next movie "The Delhi Files", but the director has not yet confirmed the plot details.
In a press release, the Maharashtra Sikh Association said it expresses "strong reservation against the exploitation and commercialisation of unfortunate tragic chapters of humankind like the Sikh riots by people in the name of creative expression and personal profiteering".
