Fans of Guru Randhawa also flooded social media with messages of support, with many calling him a fighter and commending his dedication to his craft. Some users praised him for stepping out of his comfort zone and attempting stunt work, a significant departure from his usual musical performances.
What is Shaunki Sardar About?
Shaunki Sardar is one of the most highly anticipated Punjabi films set to release in 2025. The movie will feature Guru Randhawa in a never-seen-before action-packed role, portraying a fierce yet emotional character in a story that blends love, loyalty, and cultural pride.
The film also marks the big-screen debut of Nimrat Ahluwalia, a well-known actress from the Indian television industry. The movie is being produced by Guru Randhawa’s own production company, 751 Films, and is directed by Dheeraj Rattan, a celebrated name in Punjabi cinema. Given the buzz around the film, Shaunki Sardar is expected to be a landmark project in Guru Randhawa’s acting career.
Guru Randhawa’s Transition from Music to Acting
Guru Randhawa, who first gained fame with hit songs like Lahore, High Rated Gabru, Suit Suit, and Made in India, has been steadily expanding his career beyond music. While he has previously appeared in music videos and special appearances, Shaunki Sardar marks his official transition into a full-fledged acting role.
Although many artists struggle to break into acting after being known primarily for music, Guru Randhawa seems determined to carve a niche for himself in Punjabi cinema.

Industry experts believe that this setback will not delay the movie’s release, but it remains to be seen if Guru will adjust his approach to stunt work in future projects.
