Shehnaaz Gill jets to Jaipur with mentor Saurabh Sachdeva for Punjabi film shoot

Shehnaaz Gill jets off to Jaipur for next film shoot

Shehnaaz Gill is on the move again — and this time, she’s taking her mentor with her. The actor has touched down in Jaipur with long-time coach Saurabh Sachdeva to kick off her next project.

The team is keeping things close to the chest for now, but the buzz on set is that it’s a Punjabi feature, with Saurabh stepping out of the wings to share the frame with his student.

It’s an exciting twist for anyone who’s followed Shehnaaz’s journey. Since making the jump from television to films, she’s been steadily stretching her range — trying her hand at comedy, drama and music-led parts — while doubling down on training to sharpen the craft.

Bringing her coach into the trenches feels like a natural next step: that rehearsal-room trust, all those notes and nudges, now translating directly into on-screen chemistry. For fans, it’s a treat; for the production, it’s a chance to bottle a genuine mentor–protégé rhythm.

Jaipur is a smart choice, too. Those rose-hued facades, sunlit courtyards and old-city textures do half the heavy lifting for a cinematographer.

Whether the film skews glossy and romantic or more grounded and slice-of-life, the Pink City is ready-made for memorable frames.

Saurabh’s involvement will turn heads beyond Punjabi cinema loyalists. Known first as a respected acting coach, he’s quietly put together a serious screen résumé: Sacred Games, Maroon, Taish, Bhoot Police, Good Luck Jerry, Vadh, Animal, Jaane Jaan, Haddi, Bambai Meri Jaan, Bad Cop, Badass Ravikumar, Maalik, Dhadak 2 and Thammudu all feature on a list that reads like a tour through very different worlds.

The through-line is versatility — shifting from unsettling antagonists to quietly impactful supporting turns, always with that meticulous attention to detail.

For Shehnaaz, this schedule signals intent. She’s long had a devoted online following; the mission now is to keep turning that affection into memorable performances and savvy choices.

Teaming up with a mentor as a co-star says she’s prioritising growth and collaboration over shortcuts — a promising sign for what’s ahead.

Expect a slow, satisfying drip of updates once the production settles in: a title reveal, first-look stills, perhaps a cast announcement.
