Jimmy Sheirgill wants to make issue-based Punjabi films

Actor Jimmy Shergill, who balances his time between Hindi and Punjabi movies, is keen to make more issue-based movies in his Punjabi language.

Jimmy told IANS: "My aim was that Punjabi cinema should come in the big league. I have an emotional connect with Punjabi film as I am from Punjab. It is my duty to give some good films to the Punjabi audience."

"I want to make issue-based films and I want to leave typical song and dance routines behind. I want stories which are more rooted."
