Harbhajan Mann, who’s all set to make a comeback as an actor in Punjabi cinema after about four years, has released the first look poster of his upcoming Punjabi movie ‘P.R.’. 

This Manmohan Singh directorial will release on 15th May 2020 and alongside Harbhajan Mann, P.R. will star Delbar Arya as one of the leads. This will be Delbar’s first Punjabi movie as an actress. 

Sharing the first poster of P.R. on social media, Harbhajan Mann penned a long note describing his and director Manmohan Singh’s journey in Punjabi cinema. He wrote:

“Today I am delighted & honoured to announce that on 15th May 2020, the film “P.R.” will be releasing in cinemas worldwide. This is not just my next film, it’s rather a film that belongs to all of you as well, as it’s roots are aligned to the days in 1999 when myself and the most renowned cinematographer of Bollywood at the time, Manmohan Singh ji, would have conversations on the sets of my music videos, deeply concerned about the state of Punjabi cinema. It’s from those conversations that the journey towards “Jee Aayan Nu” began, a film which connected me to all of you and your love & blessings throughout the path of my cinematic career.

The following years saw the release of films like “Asa Nu Maan Watna Da”, “Dil Apna Punjabi”, “Mitti Wajan Maardi”, and “Mera Pind- My Home” which all contained a special message and commentary on the everyday lives of people.
Now on 15th May 2020, “P.R.” will be another such film, once again with Manmohan Singh at the helm as director and myself in front of the camera, continuing on the vision we had for Punjabi cinema.
Presented by Sarang Films and HM Records, we hope “P.R.” will be given the same generous amount of love as you have given to all the films before. We are excited to elevate the quality and depth of the stories and presentation of Punjabi cinema. See you at the cinemas on 15th May 2020.”

Besides Delbar and Harbhajan Mann, P.R. will also star Kanwaljit Singh, Sardool Sikander, Amar Noorie, Karamjit Anmol, Mannu Sandhu, Kamaljeet Neeru and Gursharan Mann in significant roles. 
The movie has been produced by Harvinder Saran, Darshan S. Rangi and Gurvinder Singh.

Aditi Sharma, who garnered a lot of praise for her first Punjabi movie, Angrej in 2015 is back with Satinder Sartaj for new Punjabi movie of 2020 titled ‘Ikko Mikke’. 

While Satinder Sartaj was last seen in a Hollywood movie ‘Black Prince’ along with Bollywood veteran ‘Shabana Azmi’, he then continued to focus only on his music career. 

However, now to amuse his fans, Satinder Sartaj has signed a new Punjabi film called ‘Ikko Mikke’ – the first poster of which has been released today. 

The poster was shared by Sartaaj himself on his Instagram account today. He also announced the release date of Ikko Mikke – The Soulmates – on his profile along with the picture. 

“ਇੱਕੋ ~ ਮਿੱਕੇ IKKO ~ MIKKE { The Soulmates } PUNJABI FEATURE FILM???? In Cinemas March 13th 2020” – Satinder Sartaaj (Instagram)

The beautiful first look of Ikko Mikke (The Soulmates) suggests it to be a romantic film with a lot of depth just like Satinder Sartaaj’s songs are.

Exchanging glances, wearing modern clothes, Sartaaj and Aditi Sharma are seen to be having a cup of tea/coffee in the poster. So, the poster has both a modern and an ethereal feel to it, considering the way the duo’s picture has been graphically enhanced. 

The first poster of Ikko Mikke certainly confirms that the movie isn’t going to be a period one as Aditi Sharma is mostly famous for. Whether it was Angrej, a guest appearance in Golak, Bugni, Bank Te Batua, Subedar Joginder Singh or Laatu, Aditi’s Punjabi film career is dotted with period dramas only. 

So, it will be a great joy for her fans to see their favorite diva in a modern avatar in Ikko Mikke – The Soulmates. 

As far as the film’s credits are concerned, Ikko Mikke – The Soulmates – has been written and directed by Pankaj Verma. Although it was initially titled as ‘Anparh Akkhian’, but due to some reasons the makers changed its title. 

Ikko Mikke (The Soulmates) will release on March 13, 2020.
