USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…It is a case of too many too soon. With a whole lot of our Bollywood stars playing Sikhs in recent films, and some more coming up-Vicky Kaushal in Zubaan and Tiger Shroff in The Flying Jatt – Shahid Kapoor will no more be playing a turbaned Sikh in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon.
