Now according to latest reports, the shoot of Jodi has started in Amritsar. However, the makers have still kept the information about the female lead of the film under the carpet. But some sources have revealed that the heroine of Diljit and Amrinder’s Jodi will be Nimrat Khaira.
Nimrat Khaira, made her debut as an actress with Tarsem Jassar last year with ‘Afsar’. The movie went without a trace at the box-office though. Let’s see how the ‘jodi’ of Nimrat and Diljit works in ‘JODI’.
Jodi has been written and directed by Amberdeep. Though earlier it was reportedly an Amrinder Gill and Diljit Dosanjh joint production. But as of now the producers are Rhythm Boyz Entertainment and Dalmora Films.

[h4]For a long time, Punjabi film industry has remained a male-dominated industry. Unlike Bollywood, where even in 80s and 90s, female actors like Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit rightfully, owned the ‘hero’ status and their very presence in a flick led to the crowds thronging the theatres, Punjabi cinema is still very much dependent on its male stars.[/h4]

While Neeru Bajwa has managed to retain the perfect ‘heroine’ status in our industry for quite a number of years, yet the industry had been still waiting to see a female actor as its .main driving force However, it seems that the year 2019 has finally led to the end of its wait, as an extremely talented female actor in our industry seems to have grabbed that coveted space!
[h4]Her Babbu Bains has so incredibly hit the chords with the audience that you can’t find a single negative comment under Ardab Mutiyaran’s trailer on Youtube. Her chutzpah, mischievous and bindass look is being compared with Sridevi of Chalbaaz and Mr. India and we think, the actor is hugely talented who knows her job well.[/h4]
Yes, we’re talking about Sonam Bajwa, who early this year, gave Punjab its first female-led film as a superhit, (being the highest opener at the box office so far) and that too, in a role which can be compared to the legends that we’ve seen in Bollywood.
As if it was just the beginning, ever since the trailer of White Hill Studios’ upcoming movie, ‘Ardab Mutiyaran’ was released, it’s just Sonam Bajwa’s ‘Babbu Bains’ that seems to be the talk of the town!

We’re sure that the director (Manav Shah) and producers (Gunbir Singh Sidhu and Manmord Sidhu) have made the right choice by keeping Sonam for this role. Let’s see how things fare at the box office on October 18 when Ardab Mutiyaran releases worldwide.
Ammy Virk has been known to be a great actor and singer in Punjabi entertainment industry. Recently during the promotions of Nikka Zaildar3, he gave an exclusive interview to Iampunjaabi.com and told us the exact reasons as to why people think he has changed after entering Bollywood. He said that most people think that he speaks less nowadays. However, it has got nothing to do with his attitude. In fact, according to him, he is generally so tired that he’s hardly left with any energy to do anything. Even finding time for food becomes difficult at times!
Well, we sure agree with you Ammy! You’re a sweetheart and we know you’ll always be there for your own people, Punjab and fans!
Ajay Sarkaria, owner of swashbuckling looks and acting talent which is honed by the Lee Starsberg Theatre and Film institute (New York), is all set to become the next big thing in Punjabi cinema. With a strong belief that there’s a huge scope for non-singer actors too to make their mark in the industry, Ajay is all set to break the stereotypes with his first film, Ardab Mutiyaran.
Making his debut with upcoming Punjabi movie ‘Ardab Mutiyaran’, along with none other than the likes of Sonam Bajwa and Ninja, Ajay has been garnering praises ever since the movie’s trailer was released.
Born in Amritsar and brought up in Chandigarh, the young actor says that he’s been fond of acting since his childhood days. “Right after doing my law (as my parents wanted it), I enrolled myself in an acting training academy in New York which helped me understand the nuances of the profession. I am glad that I took that step, which finally landed me in Mumbai and fetched some quality work experience too,” reminisces Ajay, who was a part of famous TV series 24 (season 2), Ek Sringar Swaabhimaan on Colors and also a few TV commercials.
On being paired with Sonam Bajwa, Ajay says, “Of course, I had some particular notions about working with her initially. However, I was startled at the amount of cooperation I received from her. She was very adjusting and made me feel very comfortable on the sets.”
Produced by industry’s top production house, Whitehill Studios, Ardab Mutiyaran releases on 18th October. The film is being touted as a comic caper weaved around the theme of ‘girl-power’. So how much did Ajay get a chance to make his mark in the film?
“The film is so beautifully written that every character of the movie is equally important. Getting a chance to make my debut through White Hill Studios’ film is indeed a blessing.”
He adds, “I play a guy named Rinku Bansal, who is a very calm and loving boy who has to go through a lot of trouble before getting hitched.”
While signing off, he remarks, “Ardab Mutiyaran is a full-on family comedy with a focus on feminine power. It’s a film that everyone must watch.”

All of us have our favorite celebrities, some of whom we even idolize or at least consider our role models in some ways. These are the celebrities we look up to with lots of respect and admiration. In Punjab, if there’s one celebrity who almost everyone is not just a fan of, but literally “worships” is none other than ‘Gurdas Maan’ often called as “Baba Gurdas Maan’ or ‘Maan Sahib’ with respect.
All of us have our favorite celebrities, some of whom we even idolize or at least consider our role models in some ways. These are the celebrities we look up to with lots of respect and admiration. In Punjab, if there’s one celebrity who almost everyone is not just a fan of, but literally “worships” is none other than ‘Gurdas Maan’ often called as “Baba Gurdas Maan’ or ‘Maan Sahib’ with respect.
Perhaps the kind of work that Maan Sahib has done for Punjabi entertainment industry, there isn’t anyone who has till date matched him. Even though he belongs to the music industry, never has his work received negative feedback when it comes to either his songs’ lyrics or even indirect connotations.
Using chaste Punjabi words, the lyrics of his songs expressed through his mellifluous voice have received so much praise the world over, that Gurdas Maan is often requested to share his opinions on the beautiful language of Punjabi and Punjabiyat by even international media.
However, one of his statements recently, has given birth to a big controversy that doesn’t seem to cool down in the near future.
On being asked, about his take on ‘one nation, one language’ theory, Gurdas Maan was quoted as saying that there was no harm in having Hindi as one common language in the entire country. He said: “When we listen to Hindi music, watch films and read Hindi literature, then there is nothing wrong in accepting Hindi.” He called Punjabi the mother and Hindi the maasi.
However, his statement didn’t go down well with a couple of Sikhs who held placards during his live show at Abbotsford BC Canada.
But the biggest shock came, when Maan responded with some expletives in front of the live audience.
In no time, his words led to a social media storm and people are showing varied opinions on his act.
While K.S. Makhan has openly supported Gurdas Maan (through his Facebook Live video), Gurpreet Ghuggi said in a BBC interview, that Maan should’ve considered his stature before uttering such words. “Maan Saheb is known for his selection of words and strong command over Punjabi language. Such words coming from his mouth are naturally not easy to digest by general public and their anger is justified.”
However, let’s face it – celebrities are human beings just like the rest of us. They have their good moments and their bad moments too. Sometimes, they also may have moments of deep frustration at other people’s inability to understand what they actually are trying to say.
Perhaps, what happened at Abbotsford’s live show was one such moment where Maan couldn’t control letting off the steam to the extreme and ended up swearing!
But of course, considering his stature and the love that he receives from Punjabis the world over, it’s certainly not cool at all for him to use such words.
We think he must issue a statement soon apologizing for using wrong words publicly. Of course, he is well within his rights to express his thoughts on ‘One nation, one theory’ in any which way he likes.
