The movie is facing criticism after the release of trailers for depicting Guru Nanak which is not true as computer-generated graphics are used to depict Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The Sikh group Dal Khalsa warned against releasing the film.
Damdami Taksal also submitted a memo to Akal Takht jathedar against film.
The movie courted another controversy after Sartaj Singh Pannu, Director of Nanak Shah Fakir moved the Delhi High Court against producers Harinder Singh Sikka and Oscar-winning sound artiste Resul Pookutty. Sartaj Singh Pannu, in his petition, reportedly maintained that he had worked on the project as the film director.

Categories:"The Court is of the view that Pannu has been able to make a prima facie case that he should be given credit, even at this stage, as the sold Director of the film "Nanak Shah Fakir". Further, the balance of convenience in granting such interim relief. Pannu succeeds ultimately in showing that he was wrongly denied credit, his plea for the alternate relief of damages can be considered at that stage.
