The actor, who was shooting in South Africa, returned to Mumbai specially for this purpose. The re-shooting took place at Film City in suburban Mumbai on Friday.
"Singh is Kinng slated for an August release is a commercial entertainer. It is a positive film on the Sikh community. I have also taken efforts to ensure that I do not hurt anybody's sentiments," the film's director Anees Bazmi said in Mumbai on Friday.
He further said, "I had shown the rushes of the film to different Sikh bodies as even though I have taken care, there could be some lapses. The Sikh group who saw the film suggested some changes in the appearance of Akshay as a Sikh and few dialogues and we agreed to it," he added.
Bazmi said the sequences, which were re-shot, included close-ups of Akshay Kumar who appears in the film as a Sikh and few dialogues. He said the Sikh group was present when the sequences were being re-shot and they were very happy with the end result.
"The Sikh group have expressed full support to the film and are satisfied with the sequences which have been re-shot," Bazmi said.
He further said Singh is Kinng is a hardcore commercial film which is bound to entertain all sections of the society.
Akshay plays a Sikh in the film which also stars Katrina Kaif, Om Puri, Sonu Sood, Sudhanshu Pande among others. The film is produced by Vipul Shah.
It may be recalled that a few years ago, Sunny Deol starrer Jo Bole So Nihal was staunchly opposed in Punjab.
