Is Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Noorani Chehra the remake of THIS hit Punjabi film?

Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Monday announced that he has started shooting for a new film, titled Noorani Chehra, which also stars Nupur Sanon, the younger sister of Bollywood star Kriti Sanon. Nupur, who has previously starred in music videos such as Filhaal and Filhaal 2 Mohabbat alongside Akshay Kumar, is set to make her silver screen debut with the forthcoming film, directed by Navaniat Singh.

Buzz has it that Noorani Chehra is the remake of Punjabi film Kala Shah Kala (2019), starring Binnu Dhillon, Sargun Mehta, and Jordan Sandhu. The Punjabi-language romantic comedy revolves around a guy who struggles to find a match because of his dark complexion.

Producer Kumar Mangat Pathak is bankrolling Noorani Chehra under his production house, Panorama Studios. Speaking about the film, the producer shared, “In times when subjects like skin colour, body positivity and baldness have emerged in mainstream story-telling, it was time for a film to tackle a subject about looks head-on and share a worthy message!”

Aside from Noorani Chehra, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has a number of films on his platter, including Bole Chudiyan, Jogira Sara Ra Ra, Sangeen, Heropanti 2 and Tiku Weds Sheru.
