Jarnail Singh, known by his handle @jarnailsinghofficial, is not just a name but a revolution in the Punjabi film industry. From humble beginnings in the small town of Behas, Punjab, to becoming one of the most respected project designers and founders in the world of Punjabi cinema, his journey is as inspiring as it is incredible. Today, he stands tall as the founder of Virasat Films Production, a name that has become synonymous with quality storytelling and cinematic brilliance.
From a Crowd Artist to a Crowd-Puller
The journey began in 1986, while Jarnail was still in school. A film shoot for Train to Pakistan was taking place near his town, and they needed some crowd artists. Young Jarnail jumped at the opportunity and was selected to be part of the background in the film. Though it was a minor appearance, it sparked a major dream. The thrill of being on a movie set, the lights, the action—everything felt magical to him. From that moment, he was hooked. He started working as a crowd artist in multiple films, learning the industry from the ground up.
A Breakthrough Moment
In 2002, fate offered him a life-altering opportunity. He was cast as a model in the music video Dhan Teri Sikhi. The song was a hit, but more importantly, it placed Jarnail in the spotlight. One project led to another, and he began getting featured in a number of Punjabi songs, quickly becoming a familiar face in the music industry. This opened doors for him in films as well, and he soon landed small yet impactful roles in major films such as Jee Aayan Nu, Des Hoya Pardes, and even the Bollywood classic Veer Zaara.
Between 2002 and 2007, Jarnail continued his work both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, gaining respect for his dedication, discipline, and deep understanding of the art of filmmaking.
The Turning Point
Despite his growing list of credits, Jarnail faced a moment in 2007 that would forever change his trajectory. During a shoot, he reached for a plate of food—just a humble cauliflower dish—placed on a table. To his dismay, someone snatched it away and threw it in the trash, saying the table was for the stars, not for junior artists like him.
It was a deeply humiliating moment, one that shook him to the core. But instead of breaking his spirit, it ignited a fire within. He realized he no longer wanted to settle for the background. He decided to take charge of his destiny, walk away from small roles, and create something of his own.
The Birth of Virasat Films
With passion burning in his heart, Jarnail took a bold step. He launched his own film production company and named it Virasat Films. His goal was clear—to produce meaningful cinema that honored Punjabi culture, gave respect to every artist on set, and delivered high-quality entertainment to audiences.
What started as a small venture soon became a powerhouse. Under his leadership, Virasat Films has produced over 148 films, many of them starring the biggest names in the Punjabi film industry. His projects are not just popular; they’re considered blockbusters. The label Virasat Films has become a mark of trust, excellence, and creative integrity.
The Music Icon
Jarnail Singh’s impact isn’t limited to cinema alone. As a model, he has appeared in over 800 songs, including many with T-Series, India’s largest music label. His on-screen presence, combined with his behind-the-camera mastery, has helped bridge the world of music and cinema like never before.
A Platform for New Talent
Even as he continues to reach new heights, Jarnail hasn’t forgotten his roots. He remembers what it was like to be a hopeful young artist waiting for a break. That’s why he is now working on launching a film festival under the Virasat Films banner. This event will serve as a platform for emerging artists, filmmakers, and storytellers, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work and step into the industry with confidence.
Through this initiative, he aims to nurture fresh talent and offer them the support he once wished he had. It’s a move that reflects not only his vision but also his compassion and sense of responsibility toward the future of Punjabi cinema.
A Humble Giant in the Industry
Despite his massive success, Jarnail Singh remains deeply grounded. He attributes his achievements to the grace of Waheguru and the love of the people. He often shares inspirational moments, behind-the-scenes snippets, and encouraging messages on his Instagram page @jarnailsinghofficial, connecting with fans and followers in the most genuine way.
He continues to dream big, and his commitment to excellence has made him a role model not just for aspiring artists in Punjab, but for creative minds across India.
The Legacy Continues
