Punjabi movies like Jatt and Juliet, parts one and two, have made singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh a household name across the world. But the little-known fact about these and several other movies is their producer, talented Gunbir Singh Sidhu. This reticent filmmaker is not only the man behind light entertainers but is also recipient of National Award for the Best Film (Punjab 1984). Among other accolades, he has clinched PTC Awards for best film for movies like Jatt & Juliet, Jatt & Juliet 2, Sardaarji and Punjab 1984.
Sidhu did his schooling in Chandigarh before pursuing Bachelor's degree in Technology from NIT Jalandhar and, then on to doing Masters in Electric Engineering from Imperial College, London. He came back home in 2004 and started trading in used cars. He went on to set up businesses in diverse sectors like education, agriculture, real estate and finance.
