After making a mark with projects like Border 2 and Tere Ishk Mein, Paramvir Singh Cheema is now stepping into a full-fledged lead role in Punjabi cinema with Pitt Siyapa, starring opposite Sonam Bajwa. Slated to release on May 1st, the film’s teaser has just dropped, offering a glimpse into what promises to be an unconventional and entertaining ride.
Known for completely immersing himself into his characters, Cheema has built a reputation for disappearing so deeply into his roles that he’s often unrecognizable to audiences. With Pitt Siyapa, he brings that same commitment to a genre that thrives on relatability, humor, and rooted storytelling.
This time, however, audiences will see a refreshing shift — Cheema steps into a fun, breezy avatar as an NRI character, bringing in a lighter, more playful energy. The teaser even offers a glimpse of him dancing, hinting at a side of the actor that audiences haven’t quite seen before.
A refreshing blend of comedy and drama, Pitt Siyapa taps into a space that Punjabi audiences have long loved — narratives that are both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
Sharing the teaser, Cheema wrote, “Pitt Siyapa Teaser out now. Funeral ya full-on business? Dekho hun te dasso – ki lagda ae? Not your usual story, not your usual film.” The intriguing line hints at the film’s quirky premise and offbeat tone.
Calling it a “special project straight from the heart,” Cheema also expressed gratitude towards the team for believing in his vision, marking this as a significant milestone in his journey as an actor. The film also holds added significance for him as it is rooted in Punjab, making it a deeply personal and meaningful project.
With a compelling premise, a fresh pairing, and a new side to Cheema’s screen presence, Pitt Siyapa is set to bring something exciting to the Punjabi film landscape this summer.
