The film's script and the team's dedication were what drew me to this project. It is my first Punjabi film as a lead, and I am thrilled to return to the Punjabi industry with such a strong script and talented team.

But as the undead threat grows, their battle shifts from winning approval to simply staying alive.

He was like a father who was holding and protecting them. I am not very interfering but a very curious director who wants to be everywhere. I was told to get out by Tanishk". 'He is a musical genius. He knows how to do it the best. And the one thing I know is in music, it's the idea that's the genius", he concluded. The film 'Saiyaara' will hit theatres on July 18, 2025.
