Shehnaaz Gill is back in the game, soaring to Jaipur to start her next film endeavor — and this time, she has none other than her acting guru Saurabh Sachdeva in tow. With her signature contagious charisma and expanding footprint in Punjabi and Hindi cinema, Shehnaaz is set to venture into a new direction in her acting career.
Although the producers have maintained title and plot under wraps, sources inform us that the project represents a major milestone in Shehnaaz’s growing film career. Having successfully crossed over from television to films, she continues to experiment and explore new areas on screen. Adding to the anticipation is the news that her mentor-turned-collaborator Saurabh Sachdeva will be mentoring her off-screen as well as on-screen.
Saurabh Sachdeva is well known to be among the most dynamic acting coaches and character actors in the industry. He has some of Bollywood’s brightest stars as his students, but his own acting credentials speak for themselves. With memorable roles in critically successful endeavors such as Sacred Games, Taish, Bhoot Police, Good Luck Jerry, Animal, Jaane Jaan, and Haddi, Saurabh has proved to be a chameleon-like actor who can move seamlessly from weighty dramas to offbeat entertainers.
For Shehnaaz, the pairing is professional and personal. Her trust and comfort in Saurabh’s guidance indicate a performance that will soon marry emotional depth with her inherent spontaneity. As the cameras roll in Jaipur, fans are already abuzz about the promising pair.
The entire cast and plot are likely to be made official in the near future. But as of now, the Shehnaaz-Saurabh pair has already generated interest, putting the as-yet-untitled film in the ranks of the most highly anticipated Punjabi films of the year.
