Punjabi remake of Singham starring Parmish Verma goes on floors

The shooting for the Punjabi remake of the hit 2011 Hindi film Singham has commenced.

The remake stars Parmish Verma as the heroic cop and actress Sonam Bajwa.

The film is presented by T-Series and Ajay Devgn. The film is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak and co-produced by Munish Sahni and Sanjeev Joshi.

"Ajay Devgn's Singham became a box-office wonders in Hindi markets. Unlike what is believed, Punjabi films have an audience across the globe. We had previously made couple of films in Punjabi with budgets no one even imagined investing for regional cinema back then. When the decision of producing Punjabi films was done, producing 'Singham' remake was the right call," Bhushan, head honcho of T-Series, said in a statement.

The Hindi version of Singham is directed by Rohit Shetty. It revolves around an honest and valiant cop, who fights against injustice.
