The enigmatic world of Punjabi music is set to unravel on the big screen. Matchbox Shots, the production house known for backing cinematic gems like ‘Andhadhun’, has acquired the rights to adapt the book ‘Who Killed Moosewala?’ into a movie, which will be directed by the famous director Sriram Raghavan.
The book, authored by crime journalist Jupinderjit Singh, explores the dark side of the Punjabi music industry and the tragic story of Sidhu Moosewala’s killing. It offers a spine-chilling account of crime, fame, and tragedy in the life of Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, famously known as Sidhu Moosewala.
Sidhu Moosewala, an iconic figure in the international Punjabi music scene, resonated deeply with the global youth through his raw and unfiltered lyrics. However, his rise to fame was tragically cut short when he was gunned down in daylight near his village in Mansa. Sriram Raghavan is preparing to make a film on this book, in which many things related to Sidhu Moose Wala’s birth to murder will be shown. In such a situation, this news is the best news that his fans could ever receive.
The film aims to uncover the truth behind his murder. It will delve into the ominous influence of drugs and the eruption of violence driven by gangsters’ growing dominance in Punjab. The narrative promises to paint a comprehensive picture of an industry often glamorised but rarely understood. This cinematic adaptation is eagerly anticipated as it promises to shed light on the life and mysterious death of this influential artist.
