It was a great news for the fans of Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, when it was announced in August this year that the duo is pairing up again for Jagdeep Sidhu’s directorial ‘Shadda’. The poster of the same was out and the movie was slated to release on May 24, 2019.

However, now the current update is that the release date of Shadaa has been postponed to 21st June 2019 due to Diljit’s Bollywood movie – Arjun Patiala (directed by Rohit Jugraj, fame Sardaarji series) which is due to release on 3rd May 2019. 

Interestingly, on 3rd May, Ammy Virk’s Muklawa (produced by Whitehill studios and directed by Simerjit Singh) shall also be hitting the theatres in Punjab. The movie will star the Nikka Zaildar jodi – Ammy and Sonam Bajwa once again together. So, are we heading for a clash between Ammy and Diljit?

Considering, Diljit’s movie might get a wider opening for it being a Bollywood movie and his major fanbase being Punjab, we do believe it’ll affect Ammy Virk’s Muklawa’s opening day box office report. What do you think?

Update: Ammy Virk’s Muklawa will now release on 24th May 2019, so not clashing with Arjun Patiala.

Although Navaniat Singh’s Punjabi SINGHAM, which is the official remake of Ajay Devgn’s Hindi Singham, has retained the same characterisation as that of the original yet there’s some slight difference when it comes to naming them!

Just as Ajay Devgn, who played Bajirao Singham, and villain Prakash Raj who essayed Jaykant Shikre, Punjabi Singham also has the protagonist as Parmish Verma and a strong antagonist in Kartar Cheema. However, in our Parmish Verma’s Singham, the name of the male lead is DILSHER and not ‘Singham’. Surprised?

Well confirmed sources suggest that in Punjabi SINGHAM, Singham will be the name of the village and not the lead actor (a fictitious village created in Amritsar).  Kartar Cheema would be essaying the role of Shikre, which was portrayed by Prakash Raj in the Hindi version.

Speaking in an interview, Kartar Cheema confirmed, “Yes, I am playing the conniving politician-cum-don, ‘Bhullar’ in the film.” Playing the female lead Nikky from the Hindi version, is Sonam Bajwa.

It has also come into picture that Ajay Devgn, along with the production team, had a discussion over changing the names of characters. “Since it’s in Punjabi, the film has to reflect Punjabi culture. That’s why the decision was taken for certain alterations,” a news report quotes. Apart from Amritsar, the film will be shot in villages and rural belt near Chandigarh.

It is also learnt that the same action master PK who choreographed the stunts in the Hindi Singham has been roped in for its Punjabi counterpart as well.

One of our Punjabi film industry’s ace writer and producer – Naresh Kathooria – man behind films like Carry on Jatta series, Mr and Mrs 420 series and so many more, shocked his followers on social media today when he posted a picture of a man pregnant standing besides his wife.  

Well, though it was just a cartoon picture, Kathooria made his point clear in his own hilarious style that he (Naresh Kathooria Films), Ksshitij Chaudhary Films and Frriday Rushh Motion Pictures are working on a film concept that’s going to show how the world of a couple changes when the husband (followed by taunts by his wife) decides to become pregnant and deliver a baby!!! Well, what? Are you wondering if you just read it right? We assure you absolutely did! Check out Naresh Kathooria’s Post Yourself below: 

Although according to Naresh Kathooria, this untitled film is actually going to be a comedy flick but NOT without a message. He says, “Ultimately the husband (hero) realises as to how much pain a woman has to endure to give birth to a new life. But all this happens merrily.”

At a time when Punjabi cinema is on an upswing and not many filmmakers thinking past usual subjects eg. wedding-themed comedies, it’s nice to learn that someone is thinking in a completley new direction and coming up with an innovative subject! We wish the team great luck for the same.
