Who is Hari Singh Nalwa?
Sikh commander Hari Singh Nalwa was a brave leader in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Army along the northwestern edge of the Indian subcontinent, next to Afghanistan. He served as the administrator of the most unstable region, at present known as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Hari Singh also played an important role in conquering Kasur, Sialkot, Attock, Multan, Kashmir, Peshawar, and Jamrud. He created a mint in Kashmir and Peshawar to look after the revenue collection for the Sikh empire.
In 2022, Akshay Kumar hinted at playing the role of Hari Singh Nalwa while giving an interview to Fever FM, where he expressed his respect for this great character.
