This flick will see Guggu Gill and Yograj Singh, once a popular jodi, sharing the screen space after a gap of 13 years. As they announce the beginning of the shooting of the film on Monday, we get the actors talking about their roles, past experiences and much more.
“The subject of the film is old, but it will be presented in the backdrop of a modern Punjab. So you will not see any trace of the rustic Punjab in this one,” avers Yograj. He does not forget to mention that face of the Punjabi film industry has undergone a catharsis. “Filmmakers are experimenting these days and are making films on subjects that family dramas, love stories to social issues and Manmohan Singh is the trendsetter.”
Happy that the NRI segment is taking interest in Punjabi cinema, he says, “They give the same response to our films as much as any Bollywood production which is quite encouraging.”
Poonam and Vikram Sidhu will make their debut in the lead roles. Renowned playback singers like Labh Janjua, Kunal Gnajawala, Kailash Kher and Sunidhi Chauhan will lend their voice to the songs. The film will be directed by Gurinder Singh.
