Vikas Bahl, the director of popular Hindi films such as Queen (2013), Super 30 (2019) and Shaitaan (2024), has wrapped up the UK shoot of his upcoming British Punjabi music drama Bolo Bolo Bolo.
The coming-of-age drama stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Jimmy Shergill, Mona Singh and Alizeh in lead roles. According to Variety, it is set in early 1990s Britain, a time when the country experienced a surge in Punjabi music.
Set in a time when young musicians where creating music at the unexplored intersection of Punjabi beats and modern, bass-heavy production — creating sounds in makeshift spaces, from unlicensed radio broadcast to garages — the film speaks about the themes of friendship, family ties, identity and the longing to belong.
Shibasish Sarkar, founder of Katha Studios, said to the publication,"Bolo Bolo Bolo captures a unique cultural movement that brought together music, identity and a generation finding its voice. The film explores a fascinating chapter in the evolution of Punjabi music in Britain, and we are excited to bring this story to audiences. With Vikas Bahl at the helm and a talented ensemble cast, we look forward to the film’s release in 2027."
"The Punjabi music scene in 1990s Britain was full of energy, rebellion and an incredible spirit of self-expression," said the director. "It has been a wonderful experience bringing this world to life, and I look forward to audiences experiencing the film in 2027."
The film will feature a vibrant soundtrack, inspired by the songs that shaped the British Punjabi music scene at the time. Bolo Bolo Bolo is produced by Katha Studios and will release in theatres in 2027.
