Punjabi Superstar Shehnaaz Gill on Thursday unveiled the first poster of her upcoming film Ishqnama, which she described as a "true story of true lovers."

Taking to social media, Shehnaaz announced: "First picture from my upcoming movie.... 'ISHQNAMA' True Story of True Lovers NIMMA-NASIMA. Releasing 24th July 2026 in cinemas worldwide."

Alongside the announcement, the actress also shared a poster offering a glimpse into Ishqnama's world, a romance drama rooted in true events and unfolding against the fraught India and Pakistan backdrop.

In one image, Shehnaaz is seen hugging an injured Jayy Randhawa, her expression heavy with pain, resilience, and devotion, capturing a love bruised by conflict yet refusing to break. In another visual, she appears in a bridal avatar, draped in the old Punjabi aesthetic.

The actress' filmography also includes names such as 'Kala Shah Kala', 'Daaka', 'Honsla Rakh', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and 'Thank You for Coming' to her credit.

Shehnaaz has appeared in several music videos titled-- 'Maar Kar Gayi', 'Pindaan Diyaan Kudiyaan', 'Je Haan Ni Karni', 'Putt Sardaran De', 'Lakh Laanhta', 'Viah Da Chaa', 'Jatt Jaan Vaarda', 'Gusse Ho Ke Nahiyo Sarna', 'Jatti Hadd Sekhdi', 'Gunday Ik Vaar Fer', 'Peg Paun Wele', 'Gedi Route', 'Shona Shona', and 'Habit'.

Another cross-border love story? Feels like we've seen this template before. I hope the execution is fresh and it doesn't just rely on melodrama. Wishing her the best though.

The poster looks beautiful, especially the old Punjabi aesthetic. Love stories rooted in real events always hit differently. Hope it does justice to the original 'Nimma-Nasima' story.

Releasing in 2026? That's quite a wait yaar! But if the story is compelling, it will be worth it. Shehnaaz's dedication shows in her choice of projects.
