He was accompanied by Bollywood multi-hyphenate Karan Johar as the two sought blessings at the temple. Gippy took to his Instagram on Saturday, and shared a video in which the two can be seen inside the premises of the Golden temple.

He wrote in the caption, "Kan Kan de vich Rabb wasda Aye #Akaal releasing in Punjabi and Hindi worldwide, in cinemas on 10th April, 2025".

Earlier Gippy Grewal shared his thoughts on the transformative potential of 'Akaal', a film that delves deep into the darker, more complex side of human emotion.

Gippy earlier told IANS, "In Punjabi cinema, it's not that only comedies are made--there are other genres too. But yes, comedy films tend to be the biggest hits, which is why it may seem like more comedies are made. But if a role like the one in Aakal becomes successful, it will definitely change people's perception. They'll see that tough, hard-hitting roles can work too".

Gippy is one of the biggest superstars of the Punjabi film and music industry. His song 'Angrezi Beat' with Yo Yo Honey Singh was a rage at its time, and was also used in 'Cocktail' starring Saif Ali Khan, Diana Penty and Deepika Padukone.

His works span Punjabi and Hindi film industries. His single 'Phulkari' was very successful in the Punjabi music industry. He made his acting debut in the 2010 movie, 'Mel Karade Rabba', and which he followed with 'Carry On Jatta', 'Lucky Di Unlucky Story', 'Bhaji in Problem' and 'Jatt James Bond'.

He is owner of production houses Humble Motion Pictures and Big Daddy Films along with his brother Sippy Grewal.

While I admire Gippy's versatility, I hope Akaal doesn't completely abandon the humor that made him famous. His comedy timing is unmatched in Punjabi cinema. But wishing him all the best for this new venture!

Interesting pairing with Karan Johar! Wonder if this means we'll see more Punjabi-Hindi crossover projects. The industry could use more cultural exchanges like this.

Carry On Jatta is still my comfort movie! But excited to see Gippy take on more serious roles. The man has range - from Angrezi Beat to this. 2025 can't come soon enough!

Respectfully, I hope the film's marketing doesn't rely too much on the temple visit. The project should stand on its own merits. That said, Gippy's dedication to his craft is undeniable.
