The actress expressed her affection for Punjab and its people, calling them “extremely loving.” She added, “I had come here before, and now my brother is also making his mark in the Punjabi film industry. I want all Punjabi people to support him — he is a son of our home.”
A Story Spanning from 1950 to 2025
Talking about the storyline, Shehnaaz revealed that ‘Ikk Kudi’ unfolds across decades — from 1950 to 2025, showcasing a range of emotions and phases of Punjabi life.
“The film was shot in Chandigarh and portrays the complete Punjabi atmosphere. When the audience watches it, they will feel that this is a story connected to the soil of Punjab,” she said.
The actress mentioned that the film’s release was initially planned for September 19, but it was postponed due to the flood situation in Punjab.
Shehnaaz Makes Her Debut as a Producer
Shehnaaz Gill will also mark her debut as a producer with ‘Ikk Kudi’, describing it as a heartfelt and empowering project.
“Ikk Kudi is my first film as a producer, and I’m overjoyed to bankroll a female-centric narrative about a young woman and the challenges she faces around marriage. The film is loaded with twists and turns, but it’s brimming with warmth, love, and fun,” she said.
“To pick a strong narrative that thrives on a strong message makes me feel proud — I wouldn’t have ever said no to Ikk Kudi,” Shehnaaz added.
