JALANDHAR, March 29 – Vir Sachin, a filmmaker from Jalandhar, Punjab, shared insights into his career in Punjabi cinema and his upcoming movie “Dharam Nai Soch Badlo” in an exclusive interview with The Chenab Times on Friday.
Born in Jalandhar in 1984, Sachin entered the Punjabi entertainment industry in 2016, taking on roles as a producer, director, and writer. “I saw an opportunity in the music and film scene here,” Sachin said, reflecting on his decision to leave a conventional career path. “Punjabi culture has a lot to offer, and I wanted to contribute to its growth.”
Sachin has focused on producing music, working with artists such as Dimple Raja on “Demand,” Shehbaaz on “The Fake Love,” and Jeet Punjabi on “Mappe.” Other projects include “Master Mind Sarpanch” by Kulwinder Kindda, “80 Utte” by Harbajhan Shera, and “Sabar Beeba” and “Khoon Peeni” by Team D-Vision. He said his production efforts aim to support new talent, providing a platform for emerging voices in Punjab’s music industry.
His latest venture, “Dharam Nai Soch Badlo,” marks his transition to the silver screen. The film, currently in production, explores societal norms and personal beliefs, Sachin explained. “It’s about questioning traditions that hold us back,” he said, adding that the movie aims to blend entertainment with a message. While no release date has been confirmed, Sachin said the project is nearing completion and will premiere later this year.
Sachin’s journey reflects a steady commitment to Punjabi entertainment. “It’s been a learning process—building connections and understanding what audiences want,” he said. He acknowledged the challenges of breaking into a competitive industry but credited his persistence and local roots for his progress.
The filmmaker declined to share specific details about the cast or budget of “Dharam Nai Soch Badlo,” saying only that it features “fresh faces and experienced hands.” He expressed optimism about its reception, citing growing interest in Punjabi cinema beyond regional borders.
Sachin’s work remains lesser-known compared to mainstream Punjabi hits, but he said he values the creative freedom of working on smaller-scale projects. “It’s about telling stories that matter to me and to Punjab,” he added.
