If you thought the first Singh vs Kaur was a wild ride, wait till you see round two. The original’s signature mischief and larger-than-life charm have returned with a vengeance, packing even more laughs and heart. Gippy Grewal’s trademark swagger and Shehnaaz Gill’s radiant grin seemed to ignite the palace walls, while the entire crew’s infectious camaraderie made the place practically hum with excitement.
Shehnaaz Gill and Gippy Grewal light up Kolkata in Singh vs Kaur 2
Navaniat Singh, director of the film, says, “This film is a romantic con comedy that begins in Punjab, travels to Kolkata, heads to Canada, and finally returns to Punjab. Traditionally, Punjab hasn’t seen many love con comedies in this style, so we wanted to explore something fresh within a different genre. Calcutta plays a pivotal role — there is a massive turning point in the story rooted here, which drives the screenplay forward. We wanted to capture a different cultural and linguistic experience, a whole new vibe altogether, and Calcutta offered precisely that. All of us are deeply inspired by legends like Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, and works like Charulata, and have tried to infuse that subtle homage into the project. We were looking for a new pairing with a completely fresh energy, and who better than Shehnaaz to bring that spark? Having both Gippy and Shehnaaz together is incredible, and their vibe complements the film perfectly. The scale is massive — as you’d expect from SVF and Humble.”
Gippy Grewal asserted, “We took our time with the sequel because we wanted to come back with something truly fresh — and finally, the right script came along. Kolkata has a huge connection to the film; it’s literally the foundation of the story. There’s a twist I can’t reveal, but Kolkata is at the heart of it. This is my second time here — I’d performed a show around 2010 or 2011, and though I had plans to return for another show, it couldn’t happen.”
He further adds, “Now that I’m back, I definitely plan to explore the food scene. Once our partner Shrikant ji is in town, I’ll take a proper cheat day and dive right into sweets — I’ve stayed away from them for far too long! Shehnaaz and I have known each other since before Bigg Boss — we go way back, like most friendships in Punjab. She’s truly perfect for this role because it mirrors her real-life persona in so many ways. Although I haven’t really watched many Bengali films, Shrikant ji said there’s innumerable films. Shehnaaz will share more on the Bengali Punjab crossover , that, and honestly, it has been a wonderful learning curve for all of us. I’m still figuring Bengal out!”
Shehnaaz Gill expresses, “I’ve been learning Bengali, my character is Bengali, and still have so much of Kolkata left to explore! For me, Kolkata is all about its people — their warmth and their energy. I definitely want to visit Kalighat, eat biryani, panipuri, and rolls — the whole experience. Wherever a film takes me across India, I want to do projects that put women at the center.”
