Based on the real life story of the last King of Punjab, the project will be directed by Kavi Raz and features the acting debut of acclaimed singer-poet Satinder Sartaaj.

He was born in Lahore, in what is now Pakistan. There are mutterings of returning him to Amritsar, the Sikh holy city, but nothing has been decided....But for now, the maharajah remains buried at Elveden.

A rare set of Sikh armour which has languished in a storage cupboard at the Royal Engineers Museum in Brompton for more than half a century is to be restored.

Specialist Richard West-Wood Brookes said " We are excited about this sale, Duleep Singh remains a very important figure in British and Indian History" The sale will also include several artifacts relating to India and the Punjab ranging from miniature paintings, objects and historical documents.
