Diljit Dosanjh seems to be a big Kylie Jenner fan. After his latest single Kylie + Kareena that released last month, he is openly acknowledging his fan love for her and taking it to another level with his upcoming Punjabi film, Shadaa.
Jagdeep Sidhu of Qismat fame will be directing Shadaa that has Neeru Bajwa playing the lead opposite Dijit.
The film is comedy drama that revolves around a Shadaa (a man past the eligible age of marriage) and how he finds or doesn’t find his match and whether he decides to get married or remain a bachelor forever.
The Punjabi singer-actor who shot to fame with his understated performance as a police inspector in Udta Punjab, starring Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan, shared the film’s trailer along with a hilarious dialogue from the film on his official Twitter account.
“SHADI – Budi Di Life ch Bande di Uni hee Zarurat aa Jini Machi Nu Cycle Di..SHADAA – Bande Di Life ch V Budi Di Oni Hee Zarurat aa Jini Daddu Nu Rajai Di..
P.S – Dekho Japani Viah Kion Ni Kara Rahe TRAILER OUT NOW SHARE , LIKE , LAUGH.”
The film looks like a complete masala flick. A romance builds up between Neeru Bajwa and Diljit Dosanjh who separate due to differing lifestyle and ideological inclinations. Diljit, the shadaa, then tries to convince his family and relatives that marriage and weddings are human-made complications. God never intended them to be, citing arguments like the sky is male and the earth is female and they are far apart for a thoughtful reason. He also says 35-40% people in Japan do not get married.
The trailer shows that the shadaa breaks up with shadi (Neeru Bajwa) and gets married to a doll. The reference recalls a famous incident that happened in Japan last year when a man married a doll in the form of Japanese Vocaloid pop star Hatsune Miku. And no prize for guessing, the doll in Shadaa is Kylie.
On numerous occasions earlier, the Punjabi star has tweeted messages and reacted to the younger Kardashian star’s Instagram stories, even sending her his Kylie+Kareena song link.
In an interview to PTI, he had shared his love for Kylie Jenner, “I love her very much. Now, more than loving her, what makes me happy is how much people are interested in my comments. I never leave any chance to comment. But she hasn’t replied yet, may be soon. Also, I comment in Punjabi, so that she doesn’t reply. My people should have fun that’s it.”
The film Shadaa’s poster features Diljit standing with a doll named Kylie and a son-doll named, Sadda Munda (our son). The reference is not hard to miss.
Shadaa, produced by Atul Bhalla, Amit Bhalla, Anurag Singh, Aman Gill and Pawan Gill, is slated to release on 21 June 2019.
