Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 2 (ANI): Filmmaker Vikas Bahl has wrapped up the United Kingdom shooting schedule of his upcoming musical drama ‘Bolo Bolo Bolo’, featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi, Jimmy Shergill, Mona Singh and Alizeh in lead roles. Set against the backdrop of the British Punjabi music movement of the early 1990s, the film is scheduled to release in cinemas in 2027, as per Variety.
The coming-of-age drama explores a defining period in Britain’s music culture, when young musicians began blending traditional Punjabi beats with contemporary, bass-heavy sounds to create a distinct musical identity.
Set in the early 1990s, the film traces how this emerging music movement took shape in garages, makeshift recording spaces, unlicensed radio broadcasts and performances outside the mainstream music circuit.
