Akaal: Gippy Grewal, Karan Johar, and team seek blessings at Golden Temple ahead of grand release

As the highly anticipated action-drama Akaal nears its release, Gippy Grewal, Karan Johar, and Apoorva Mehta visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar to seek blessings. The trio was seen dressed in traditional attire, offering prayers at the sacred shrine, a moment that resonated deeply with fans and the Punjabi film industry alike.

With April 10 set as the release date, the visit held special significance for Dharma Productions, as Akaal is their first-ever Punjabi-language film. This marks a historic expansion for the Bollywood powerhouse, stepping into the vibrant world of Punjabi cinema.

Akaal: A Grand Punjabi-Hindi Bilingual Spectacle

Written and directed by Gippy Grewal, Akaal is a larger-than-life period action drama set in the 1840s. The film narrates the tale of Punjabi warriors standing against a vengeful army, showcasing bravery, sacrifice, and cultural pride. With its bilingual (Punjabi-Hindi) release, Akaal aims to bridge the gap between regional and mainstream Indian cinema.

Speaking about the film, Gippy Grewal previously stated that Akaal is one of his most ambitious projects, as it brings Punjabi history and storytelling to a national audience. The film’s grand scale, action sequences, and emotional depth make it one of the most awaited Punjabi releases of the year.

Dharma Productions' Big Leap into Punjabi Cinema

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, known for delivering Bollywood blockbusters, is making a bold move with Akaal. The production house, led by Karan Johar and CEO Apoorva Mehta, is venturing into Punjabi cinema for the first time, signalling a new chapter for the industry. Given Dharma’s strong storytelling legacy, their involvement is expected to elevate Akaal’s production quality, making it a visually and emotionally powerful cinematic experience.

Johar, who has roots in Punjab, has often expressed his admiration for Punjabi culture. His involvement in Akaal not only strengthens the film’s reach but also highlights the growing demand for regional cinema on a national scale.

Fans Await the Historic Release

With only days left for Akaal to hit theatres, the excitement is at its peak. The film’s blend of historical action, cultural richness, and Dharma’s production finesse is expected to set new benchmarks for Punjabi films.

As the team wrapped up their temple visit, fans flooded social media with excitement, as they are all set to witness a historical saga unfold on the big screen—one that promises thrill, emotion, and an unforgettable tribute to Punjab’s warrior spirit.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15.

In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.
