Yoodlee Films’ Punjabi feature, Shinda Shinda No Papa (2023) is due to be released on the holiday of Baisakhi next year. Featuring Gippy Grewal and his son Shinda, the comedy on parenting will be premiered on 14 April 2023.
Directed by Amarpreet Chhabra, Shinda Shinda No Para is the first time the father-son duo is coming together on screen. The upcoming film, announced this April, is based in the UK and moves to India as a father tries to get his naughty and mischievous son on the right track.
Shinda made his acting debut with the blockbuster Honsla Rakh (2021) with Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh.
Grewal shared his excitement to work with Shinda and bring their real-life chemistry to the big screen. He said, “I thrive to give complete entertainment to my audiences, and Shinda Shinda No Papa is no exception. The film has a roller-coaster of emotions and shows how a father manages his disobedient son while moving from UK to India. This is going to be my second film with director Amarpreet Chhabra and working with him is a delight. Looking forward to coming together with Yoodlee Films and giving audiences a movie to cherish on Baisakhi.”
Siddharth Anand Kumar, vice president of films at Saregama India, stated, “Gippy has an incredible connect with the audiences and we at Yoodlee are enthralled to have him on board. Shinda, on the other hand, is a little bundle of talent and full of surprises before the camera. It would be great to see the real-life father-son duo acting out a totally unexpected equation on the screen. We hope to showcase many more gifted stars and storytellers that inhabit this industry and Shinda Shinda No Papa is another step towards achieving that goal.”
Director Amarpreet Chhabra added, “All of us are working very hard to ensure that Shinda Shinda No Papa turns out to be a complete entertainer. Working with Gippy for the second time will be even more special than the first because of the father-son pairing. To have Yoodlee Films back us has also been a huge advantage as they have worked with diverse industries and have a very broad vision of entertainment.”
Writer Naresh Kathooria said, “I have tried to bring a certain light-heartedness and sense of joy in the story. I am happy that the release date has been announced and now we and the audience have a date to look forward to.”
Grewal’s next film, Yaar Mera Titliaan Warga (2022), is due to be released on 2 September.
