India’s Panorama Studios has acquired the worldwide theatrical distribution rights to three Punjabi-language films set for release in 2026: “Argentina,” starring Ammy Virk and Sargun Mehta; “Thaapi,” starring Neeru Bajwa and Sunny Singh; and “Ranjheya,” featuring Harrdy Sandhu, Simrat Kaur and Angad Bedi.
The deal builds on the momentum of “Ishqan De Lekhe,” one of the year’s sleeper hits, and marks a significant expansion of Panorama Studios’ Punjabi film slate. The three titles bring together several of the industry’s most recognized stars across genres.
Anshu Kapoor, who joined Panorama Studios earlier this year as head of Punjabi production and acquisition, has been leading the company’s push to grow its presence in Punjab. Under that push, the studio has been assembling a slate built around varied stories, established talent and broad audience reach.
Panorama Studios’ Punjabi lineup also includes “Kankaan De Ole,” due out July 31, and “70 Syaal,” a horror-folklore drama set in Punjab that is expected to release in the coming months.
Kumar Mangat Pathak, chair of Panorama Studios, said, “Punjabi cinema today enjoys a strong cultural connect not only within India but also across international markets where Punjabi-speaking audiences are significant. At Panorama Studios, we have always believed in the power of regional storytelling, and the success of Ishqan De Lekhe has further strengthened our conviction. With ‘Argentina,’ ‘Thaapi’ and ‘Ranjheya,’ we are partnering with films that combine compelling narratives with some of the most loved stars of Punjabi cinema. We remain committed to supporting quality content and expanding the reach of Punjabi films to audiences worldwide.”
