Renowned South Indian actor Kamal Haasan has extended his heartfelt best wishes to Punjabi cinema star Gippy Grewal for his ambitious upcoming film, Akaal. The gesture, shared earlier today, highlights the growing camaraderie between the South Indian and Punjabi film industries, further strengthened by the collaboration between Grewal and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
The film, set to release on April 10, 2025, during the festive occasion of Baisakhi, is a bilingual project presented in both Punjabi and Hindi.
Gippy Grewal, who is not only starring in but also writing and directing Akaal, responded with gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much, Kamal Haasan Sir! Your kind words mean everything to our Akaal movie.” Grewal’s response, accompanied by a beaming emoji, was shared on X at 1:55 PM IST today, reflecting his appreciation for the veteran actor’s support.
Akaal, described as a tribute to the bravery and resilience of the Sikh Warriors —has already generated significant buzz. The film boasts a stellar cast, including Gurpreet Ghuggi, Nimrat Khaira, Shinda Grewal, Nikitin Dheer, and Mita Vasisht, and features music by the acclaimed trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Backed by an impressive lineup of producers, including Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Bhumika Tewari, Gippy Grewal, and Ravneet Kaur Grewal, the movie marks Dharma Productions’ first foray into Punjabi cinema.
The trailer, released earlier this month on March 18, has been widely praised for its grand fight sequences.
Kamal Haasan’s endorsement adds a significant boost to the film’s anticipation. Known as ‘Ulaganayagan’ (Universal Hero) for his versatile contributions to Indian cinema, Haasan’s support underscores the pan-Indian appeal of Akaal. With Haasan’s blessings and Gippy Grewal’s multifaceted involvement, the film is set to make waves when it hits screens on April 10, 2025.
