"And now, I am actually here, playing Jasneet."
For Shehnaaz Gill, starring in Singh vs Kaur 2 is more than another acting opportunity.
Thirteen years after the first film, the actress is now part of the franchise she once imagined joining herself.
The trailer introduces Shehnaaz as Jasneet Kaur, a Bengali woman who finds herself going toe-to-toe with Gippy Grewal’s Nihaal.
The role gives Shehnaaz the chance to explore a broader range of genres, with the film combining romance, comedy, action and thriller elements. It also sees her take on a character that pushes her into new territory as a performer.
Singh vs Kaur 2 marks a significant expansion of the franchise.
While the 2013 original was a locally rooted romantic comedy, the sequel takes its story across Punjab, Kolkata and Canada, giving it a distinctly multi-continental setting.
Shehnaaz brings her trademark charm and energy to the character.
Her on-screen dynamic with Gippy’s Nihaal also appears central to the film as their story unfolds across its different locations.
For Shehnaaz, the opportunity carries an added significance because of her connection to the original film. She recalled watching Singh vs Kaur years ago and imagining herself becoming part of a film like it.
She explained: “Singh vs Kaur 2 is very special to me because I still remember watching Singh vs Kaur years ago and thinking, ‘I wish I could be a part of a film like this someday’.
“And now, I am actually here, playing Jasneet.
“It honestly feels like one of those moments where you realise that sometimes the things you casually wish for really do come true.
“Jasneet was so much fun to play because I got to do romance, comedy, action, and so much more.
“I had a great time discovering this character and doing things I hadn’t tried before.
“I’m really excited for everyone to see the film, and I just hope the audience has as much fun watching it as we had making it.”
With Singh vs Kaur 2, Shehnaaz Gill enters a new chapter in her acting journey, taking on a character that allows her to move beyond familiar territory.
As Jasneet Kaur, she is at the centre of a sequel that broadens the original film’s world while giving the franchise a more ambitious, multi-genre direction.
For an actor who once wished to be part of Singh vs Kaur, the sequel represents a particularly fitting full-circle moment.
