'Nanak Shah Fakir' is based on Guru Nanak's teachings: Resul Pookutty
NEW DELHI: Oscar-winner Resul Pookutty, who has worked on the sound of upcoming film 'Nanak Shah Fakir', says the biopic on Guru Nanak is a moving story about a master and the disciple who followed him.
Pookutty said he liked the message that the film conveyed and religion is just one aspect of the story, which depicts a tumultuous time in Indian history.
"I don't even belong to the Sikh community but I believe in the teachings of Guru Nanak. Religion is just one aspect of this movie. It is about a family and the disciple, Bhai Mardana, who followed his master and travelled with him around the country in soul searching, in seeking answers about life," Pookutty told PTI.
The sound designer said he took one rupee as his remuneration to work on the movie, which has been produced by Harinder Singh Sikka, and releases on April 17.

Jagmeet’s love for the celluloid attracted him towards the cosmopolitan centre. “I aspired to be an actor but gradually discovered that my interest actually lay in direction. I worked as an assistant director with Veeru Devgan for ‘Hindustan Ki Kasam’ in 1999,” says Jagmeet. Jagmeet directed ‘Rise of the Khalsa’ in 2008, for which he bagged the Best Director award at the New York Independent International Film Festival, followed by ‘Martyrs’ in 2012.
