EXCLUSIVE: Vikas Bahl's next stars Jimmy Shergill, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mona Singh, Alizeh Agnihotri; based on the explosive rise of Punjabi music in 90s UK
After impressing audience with Queen (2014), Goodbye (2022) and Shaitaan (2024), Vikas Bahl is all set with his next directorial. The untitled film stars Jimmy Shergill, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Mona Singh and Alizeh Agnihotri in lead roles. The coming-of-age drama is set against a defining cultural moment, where a generation of immigrants found belonging, rebellion and a voice through music.
Set in Britain in the early 1990s, the film unfolds against the rise of the UK Punjabi music movement, a turbulent and exhilarating time when a generation growing up between cultures began turning up the volume from garages, backrooms, pirate radio stations and underground gigs.
It was a time when Punjabi dhol collided with basslines and when young Brown artists, with their unique sound, fought their way to music charts, making their whole community visible. Set against this cultural explosion, the film is a coming-of-age story about music, identity, family, friendship and belonging.
The film brings together an ensemble of Indian and international actors, musicians and performers to recreate a moment when an entire generation began to discover that perhaps belonging wasn't something they needed to ask permission for.
