From Star to Producer: Shehnaaz Gill’s Heartfelt Journey with ‘Ikk Kudi’
Shehnaaz Gill, one of Punjabi cinema’s most adored stars, is all set to take a major step forward in her career with her upcoming film Ikk Kudi, releasing worldwide on October 31, 2025. This film marks a special milestone as it marks Shehnaaz’s debut as a producer, highlighting her creative evolution both in front of and behind the camera.
Under the banners of Raaya Picturez, Shehnaaz Gill Productions, and Amor Films, Shehnaaz has joined hands with producer Kaushal Joshi and director Amarjit Singh Saron to bring a deeply emotional story to life. The project showcases Shehnaaz’s growing dedication to Punjabi cinema and her passion for producing content that resonates with audiences across the globe.
Written and directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, Ikk Kudi carries his signature storytelling touch — rich in humor, heart, and the cultural soul of Punjab. Known for blockbusters like Kala Shah Kala (2019), Jhalle (2019), Honsla Rakh (2021), Saunkan Saunkne (2022), and Babe Bhangra Paunde Ne (2022), Saron once again explores human emotions through relatable characters and heartfelt narratives.
The film’s music is presented by Speed Records, one of India’s most influential music labels. With a legacy that includes chart-topping albums from Punjabi hits like Qismat, Ardaas, Carry On Jatta, and Jatt & Juliet, their involvement guarantees that Ikk Kudi will be as musically rich as it is emotionally powerful.
At its core, Ikk Kudi is the story of a young woman standing on the threshold of marriage — her dreams, doubts, and emotions forming a bridge between the simplicity of the 1990s and the realities of the 2020s. While times have changed, the essence of love and self-discovery remains timeless — something Shehnaaz portrays with grace and depth.
Originally planned for a September release, Ikk Kudi was postponed to October 31, 2025, after Shehnaaz made the heartfelt decision to delay the film in solidarity with flood-affected regions of Punjab. This compassionate gesture reflects her deep connection to her roots and her audience.
With its emotional narrative, strong direction, and Shehnaaz Gill’s powerful presence both on and off screen, Ikk Kudi is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated Punjabi films of 2025. Fans worldwide are eagerly waiting to experience Shehnaaz’s next big chapter as an actor, producer, and storyteller.
