Rising star Delbar Arya is all set to make a powerful impact in the Punjabi film industry with her upcoming release Madhaniyan. Billed as the biggest family drama of the year, the film promises a heartfelt narrative of love, tradition, and deep-rooted family bonds. With an ensemble cast that includes Neeru Bajwa, Dev Kharoud, Nav Bajwa, and Delbar Arya, the film is helmed by acclaimed director Nav Bajwa and has already created a buzz following the release of its poster.
Among the many reasons Delbar Arya is excited about this project, one stands out above the rest — sharing the screen with the legendary Poonam Dhillon.
“It’s a huge opportunity for an actor like me to work with such a veteran actress,” says Delbar. “Poonam Ma’am and I share most of our scenes in the film. I play the role of Jazz, and she plays my Nani (grandmother). Our bond in the film is very sweet — it’s a classic granddaughter-grandmother connection with emotional depth and warmth.”
Recalling her first encounter with the iconic actress, Delbar says,
“I was completely in awe. She’s so beautiful — it felt like she’s aging in reverse! Her charm and screen presence are unmatched.”
Delbar goes on to highlight how working with Poonam Dhillon was not just a career milestone but also a personally enriching experience.
“She’s incredibly humble. Despite her stature, she never makes you feel like a junior. She gives time, shares suggestions, and even appreciates your efforts. That kind of humility is rare and deeply inspiring. I feel fortunate to have had this experience.”
As Madhaniyan prepares for its theatrical release, anticipation is mounting. Fans are eager to see the on-screen dynamic between the seasoned legend and the promising newcomer. Known for her elegance and charm, Poonam Dhillon’s presence adds a classic touch, while Delbar Arya’s rising star power brings freshness and energy to the film.
With its emotionally engaging storyline, powerhouse performances, and the collaboration of veterans with rising talent, Madhaniyan is shaping up to be a cinematic celebration of family, love, and legacy.
