The picture shows Ammy and Sidhu on the front seats of their car and some other friends posing with them from the back seat for a selfie. The note shared by Ammy read, “As a team Sherbagga, we were supposed to meet you all at your nearest theaters on June 10th to celebrate the cinema. But due to extremely sad and unfortunate time, we are not in a state of mind to celebrate this art form. Therefore, we have postponed the release of #SherBagga (Further details would be shared soon.)”

Ammy had earlier shared a picture of Sidhu Moose Wala on Instagram, mourning his death. He wrote, “Waheguru Parwaaar nu bal bakshan sache patshah (Myy god give strength to the family).”

Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district on on May 29, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. His cousin and a friend, who were travelling in a jeep with him, were also injured in the attack.

His last rites were conducted amid massive crowd of fans. Thanking people for sharing the grief with the family, his father urged people to attend the ‘bhog’ ceremony of his son on June 8.

Amy also has Oye Makhna in pipeline and is scheduled to release in September this year. The film also stars Tania Singh, who is teaming up with Ammy for the fourth time after having worked with him on films like Qismat, Sufna and Qismat 2.
