Punjabi superstar Gippy Grewal—the singer, actor, and producer who lives in Vancouver and commands a massive fan base across Surrey, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and throughout Punjab and India—has surprised everyone with a major announcement. His elder son, Ekom Grewal, is officially stepping into cinema with a bold new film titled Dead End 2026.

What makes the reveal even more impressive is that Ekom himself has written the story, and the teaser suggests a strikingly intense, almost untamed narrative. The trailer features powerful glimpses of Prince Kanwaljit and Raghveer Boli, instantly sparking buzz online.

Some viewers are convinced that a shot in the teaser shows someone smoking, but Gippy’s team has clarified that this is a misunderstanding—the moment is purely cinematic, not literal. With its raw tone and unsettling atmosphere, the trailer has drawn quick comparisons to Udta Punjab, hinting at a storyline that dives into the darker, realistic side of Canadian life, possibly touching on drug culture and harsh immigrant realities.

Meanwhile, Gippy’s younger son, Shinda Grewal, has already won hearts with his earlier film debut alongside Diljit Dosanjh and in projects produced by Gippy himself. And now, with Dead End, it looks like Ekom is ready to bring his own fierce creative voice to the screen.
