‘Paatal Lok’ fame Jagjeet Sandhu’s 'Illti' to bring a tale of love and nature on Valentine 2025

‘Paatal Lok’ fame Jagjeet Sandhu and ‘Sufna’ star Tania headline 'Illti'—a unique blend of the ‘Stone Age’ and modern times, releasing on Valentine’s Day 2025.

The filming of the movie took place over two months, from August 15th to October 1st, across scenic locations in Punjab, including Ropar, Mohali, and Fatehgarh Sahib, which added to the film’s authentic backdrop.

Talking about the movie Jagjeet Sandhu said, “The film ‘Illti’ depicts two parallel worlds: the ‘Stone Age’ and the present era of 2024. ‘Illti,’ in the ‘Stone Age,’ first thinks of cutting trees and creating tools like a small four-wheeler, but soon realizes the importance of protecting the environment. In his present-day reincarnation, he still carries the same love for nature. His innocence, pure heart, and crazy family form his world, and the story intensifies when he falls for Bhajan Kaur, whose uncle is involved in a forest destruction scandal”.

He further adds, “I always put my heart and soul into my projects. This film is special with its fun, message, and entertainment. Playing “Illti” in the Stone Age was both challenging and fun, especially without language—so sounds and scenes were creatively designed. With heavy VFX and technical complexity, making it a strong film was a big challenge.”

Directed by Varinder Ramgarhia, and written by Gurpreet Bhullar, the film also features Harbhajan Kaur, Raghveer Boli, Anita Devgan, Surendra Sharma, and Daljinder Basran.

When asked about the film, director Varinder Ramgarhia said, “The idea for this film came from our society, not from a specific culture, but from a universal thought that we can all relate to. I always aim to create a film that addresses a social issue while also showcasing beautifully designed scenes. Nature and the environment are key themes in this story, and I believe the message will resonate with audiences across the globe.”

“This is a film that will stay with you long after you leave the theater. The laughter and giggles will bring you back, but it’s the hope and inspiration that will linger in your heart and mind, sparking conversations that last well beyond the credits,” he concluded.
