The shoot kicked off in Mumbai with vibrant song sequences and emotional scenes that hint at the film’s musical intensity. Deewaniyat is being pitched as a heartfelt love story that weaves together contemporary romance with classic Bollywood charm — a space Sonam is more than comfortable in. While the film is still in early production, Sonam’s involvement alone has created buzz. Her expressive acting and elegance have long been a hallmark of Punjabi blockbusters, and fans are eager to see her bring that same magnetism to this pan-Indian project.
