MUMBAI: Punjabi singer-actor Ammy Virk's upcoming movie "Puaada" will release in the theatres on April 2. The Punjabi-language film, which also features Sonam Bajwa of "Punjab 1984" fame, is directed by debutante Rupinder Chahal.

The romantic-comedy follows the story of Jaggi, a loveable, desi, Punjabi village boy, who runs a successful dairy farm and is in a relationship with Raunak, an Air Force officer's daughter and how her father disapproves of their relationship and this ensues to comedy of errors.
Backed by A&A Pictures and Brat Films, the movie is produced by Bhalla, Gill, Anurag Singh, Aman Gill, Balwinder Singh Janjua. It will be released by Zee Studios worldwide.
