About Shadaa Movie:
Shadaa is a Punjabi romantic comedy film written and directed by Jagdeep Sidhu, and co-produced by A & A Advisors and Brat Films. The film stars Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa.
Diljit Dosanjh in an interview said, “I was thinking about the topics that have not been touched upon in Punjab. So I realised that a film on shadaa had not been made. It has been touched upon but an entire film hasn’t been attempted before. I discussed the idea with my writer and director, Jagdeep Sidhu and producers Pawan Gill and Anurag Singh who developed the story.”
Since all the pre-production was set, then team started looking for a leading lady and Neeru Bajwa being their first choice joined the film.
In an interview he described Shadaa as “a man who’s having trouble finding a wife” which is different from Bachelor while Dosanjh said, “There is no equivalent in Hindi or English for the term. A bachelor is something different as a shadaa is someone who is above 30 and not married, even though he wants to. People often taunt them but they do not reply because they are our own people.”
