It’s first official poster was revealed today and boasts of a strong message within a vibrant theme. With both Tarsem and Neeru sitting together with a cute child in school uniform in the middle, the film seems to be based on the subject of ‘education’. In the poster, Tarsem and Neeru are carrying the placards of Punjabi and English alphabets respectively, while the child is joyfully standing behind the backdrop of a blackboard with ‘Angrezi Sikho written in gurmukhi.’

Looking at the poster, it seems a lot of thought has gone into delivering the concept that it’s based on. Seemingly, it enforces the importance of teaching Punjabi  in today’s schools, which emphasize on learning English and foreign languages mostly.

Interestingly, according to the producer Prince Amrit Juneja, one of the best roles in this film belongs to Yograj Singh – who isn’t actually what is shown in the trailer!

“Like most Punjabis, I’ve been a die-hard fan of Yograj ji and it’s indeed my great luck that he agreed to be a part of this film. In fact, you’d be surprised to see that Yograj Singh’s role is not what is shown in the trailer. He is something/someone altogether different in the film, something that I can’t reveal to you right now! Also, Yograj Singh has put in not just his best foot forward professionally but also immersed with the crew on a personal level. He motivated me a lot and also revealed that he hasn’t done this kind of role ever in his life before,” he said in an exclusive interview to us.

The movie clashes with another Punjabi film called Titanic. However, the producers of this film remain unperturbed. “We are so confident about our product and the concept that this movie is about that competition doesn’t matter. We wish every Punjabi film becomes successful as a lot of effort of a lot many people goes into making it,” says Katyal. 

The director of the film, Kuldeep Kaushik, has to say this about his film, “The main character (Alfaaz) gets inspired by the film industry and he wishes to become a hero, but he has to face many frauds and undergo several struggles to achieve his goal. His struggle is filled with innumerable interesting incidents that will surely leave the audience laughing.”
