Gippy Grewal to star with son Shinda in next project

The film, written by Naresh Kathooria, will be directed by Amardeep Chabbra.

Actor-singer-filmmaker Gippy Grewal will co-star with son Shinda in his next project, written by actor-screenwriter Naresh Kathooria and directed by Amarpreet Chabbra.

Shinda Grewal made his cinema debut last year with the Diljeet Dosanjh-starrer Honsla Rakh (2021).

The film set a new mark for best opening by a Punjabi movie and went on to become a box-office hit.

Gippy Grewal's project with his son is being produced by Yoodlee Films, cinematic arm of Saregama India, which is moving into the Punjabi space after exploring regional cinema with Tamil, Malayalam and Marathi projects.

Grewal said, "Punjabi cinema is making huge strides and has a growing fan base not just across India but abroad as well and Yoodlee Films wants to add to this movement by co-creating quality films with regional talent. I respect this approach and am glad that we will be working together."

Director Amarpreet Chabbra said, "It is a great feeling to collaboratively push the envelope in Punjabi cinema and to work with a team that really wants to add to the resurgence of fresh ideas in the industry."

The film will go on the floors between July and August 2022 and is scheduled to be released in February 2023.
