Actor-singer Jassi Gill has joined the cast of the upcoming Punjabi film Fuffad Ji. Directed by Pankaj Batra, the ensemble cast of the romcom already features Binnu Dhillon, Gurnam Bhullar, Alankrita Sahai, Sidhika Sharma, Jasmin Bajwa, and Annu Chaudhary in significant roles.
Fuffad Ji went before cameras on June 16, 2021, in Punjab. The shoot has been progressing at a brisk pace ever since. Though the makers have not locked any date, the film is expected to hit theatres in 2021 itself.
Jassi, who was last seen in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s critically-acclaimed Hindi film Panga (2020) alongside award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut in the lead role, has come onboard to play an important character in Fuffad Ji. Details of his character are currently under wrap, though.
Talking about the film, Gill says, “This film is a fantastic concoction of comedy and romance, and I feel absolutely elated to be a part of it in some way. Films like these always bring joy to the audiences and can be watched anytime by anyone. This quality makes them timeless and memorable. So, all in all, I am very happy to be a part of Fuffad Ji.”
Fuffad Ji is a wholesome family period family entertainer with a series of comedy of errors that will be enjoyed across all age groups of a family. It is being produced and presented by ZEE Studios and K Kumar Studios. The film has been written by Raju Verma.
Speaking about the film, Shariq Patel, CEO, ZEE Studios says, “We are ramping up our regional slate of films, especially Punjabi films. We are excited to associate with the team. Fuffad Ji is a heart-warming story with a special social message. I am confident that the audience will like the film.”

The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
