Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh is all set to return to the screens with his next film ‘Detective Sherdil’, which is slated to release on ZEE5 on June 20.
The much-anticipated comedy thriller also stars Diana Penty and Boman Irani in key roles and promises to be a unique blend of humour, suspense, and family entertainment.
According to an ANI report, ‘Detective Sherdil’ follows the story of an unconventional detective who lands a case that is far from ordinary.
The film, which was shot extensively in Budapest, is written by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sagar Bajaj, and Ravi Chhabriya. This project marks Ravi Chhabriya’s directorial debut and also marks Ali Abbas Zafar’s second collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh following their critically acclaimed drama ‘Jogi’.
Speaking about the film, producer Ali Abbas Zafar shared, “Diljit and I have previously worked on Jogi. After wrapping that film, I was sure we must work together again. He is one of the biggest stars we have, and now, as we bring Detective Sherdil to audiences, I still can’t believe we’ve wrapped up our second collaboration! Our film will charm you with comedy, and thrill you with mystery, it’s an out and out family watch.”
Producer Himanshu Mehra added, “There are very few stars who have the versatility to pull off humor with the same ease as they handle suspense. Diljit is one such star actor. I’m very excited to bring families all over together for this thrilling ride on ZEE5 on 20th June 2025.”
Kaveri Das, Business Head, Hindi at ZEE5, also expressed her excitement for the release, stating, “At ZEE5, we understand the enduring charm of a good whodunit—but we also know today’s viewers want more than just clues and culprits. With Detective Sherdil, we’re dialing up the mystery and mixing it with a twist of wit and unconventional storytelling. Think shadowy secrets, eccentric suspects, and plot turns you won’t see coming—all delivered with a wink.”
‘Detective Sherdil’ is jointly produced by Himanshu Mehra, Ali Abbas Zafar, Rohini Singh, and Manmeet Singh, and is expected to deliver a compelling cinematic ride that blends intrigue with humour. With an exciting cast and fresh storytelling, the film is already being billed as one of the most entertaining family thrillers of the year.
