Producer Harinder Sikka described the experience as overwhelming, adding: " I am not a filmmaker.

"Thus making a film of such an epic proportion on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak with the guidance and support of people like Resul, AR Rahman and others, has been but a divine grace, a miracle in itself.

"The overall experience has been overwhelming, gracious and deeply humbling."

Based on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak, the film stars Arif Zakaria, Adil Hussain and Puneet Sikka.

Part of the movie has been shot using CGI techniques to create the image of Guru Nanak, while respecting the tradition of not showing the Saint's face.

The trailer of the film launched in Chandigarh, with the movie following on April 17.
