You get a story that stirs up cultures, flavours and languages and Singh vs Kaur 2 , SVF's first Punjabi production, does just that. Starring Shehnaaz Gill and Gippy Grewal , the film is the much-awaited sequel to the 2013 hit, with Gippy also serving as co-producer. It is being shot across Punjab, Kolkata, and Canada, with iconic locations like the Burdwan Rajbari in Alipur adding to its grandeur. Kolkata: The sweet spot in the story For the film, Kolkata isn't just a location — it's an important part of the story's soul. 'The base of the film is from Kolkata, and Shehnaaz is playing a Bengali. I can't reveal more, but that's all for now,' said Gippy. He also plans to make the most of his time here. 'It's been a long time since I had a cheat day, so I'll have one here in Kolkata. I'm excited to try the mishti s and spongy rosogollas.' Shehnaaz, too, is fully embracing the spirit of the city as she picks up the language with all its quirks and charm. 'I'm playing a Bengali, and I've learnt quite a lot on set — my teacher says I'm a fast learner,' she said. She's excited to explore the city as well. 'I want to explore Kolkata. Everyone has told me not to miss the aloo-wali biryani, the rolls, and the phuchka — especially these three things,' she smiled. A sequel with bigger challenges Sequels are never easy, especially when the first film has a loyal fan base. 'The challenges are more because you've already established the character. We have been trying to do this for a long time but nothing was hitting the script that would match the first one. This time we finally cracked the code,' said Gippy with a confidence that audiences will embrace this cross-cultural twist.
