The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the film, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced summary of production credits, cast, the 2003 SGPC resolution against human portrayal of the Gurus, the Supreme Court's 2015 intervention, and the 2018 National Film Award record, cross checked here against SBS Punjabi's contemporary reporting. Its cast list names no actor in the role of Guru Nanak, corroborating SBS Punjabi's report that the role was rendered in computer graphics rather than performed. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation.
