The first English-language Sikh superhero feature film is set to have its world premiere in Slough following the release of its official trailer.

Directed by Flex Singh, who also stars in the lead role, the film marks the first time in history that a Sikh protagonist leads a superhero-style action film in the English language.

The film is described as blending martial arts, spirituality, and Hollywood-scale visuals.

It is called The Ninth Master and aims to introduce a 'new kind of hero' to mainstream cinema.

The film stars Flex Singh as Flex Singh, Marty Mummery as Titus, and Richard Chan as Kumaru.

Together, they lead a story centred on discipline, mastery, and moral purpose, inspired by Sikh philosophy and the legacy of Sikh warriors.

Actor Richard Chan described learning about Sikh history and its warrior tradition as “deeply inspiring,” noting the strength of values embedded within the community.

Onfans commenting: “This is the representation we needed.”

The official trailer is out now and the official world premiere of The Ninth Master will take place in Slough on February 21.
