Social worker and philanthropist Anmol Kwatra has reportedly extended his support to Punjabi singer Gulaab Sidhu’s acting debut Judaa in an unusual way, with visuals circulating on social media showing him distributing ₹500 notes to people, including members of his office staff, reportedly encouraging them to watch the film.
The gesture has gained added attention because it comes amid the much-talked-about controversy and reported fallout between Kwatra and Gulaab Sidhu in recent times, making the apparent show of support particularly noteworthy.
₹500 Being Handed Out to Viewers
According to the circulating visuals and claims, Kwatra was seen handing out ₹500 to individuals and members of his staff, with the money reportedly intended to encourage them to go to theatres and watch Judaa.
The gesture has attracted attention online because of the unusual nature of the promotion, turning what would normally be a film recommendation into a direct monetary incentive for audiences.
Support Comes Amid Reported Fallout
The timing of the gesture has become a major talking point. Kwatra and Gulaab Sidhu have recently been at the centre of a public controversy, with their controversy on money asked for podcasts and their friendship being questioned.
Against that backdrop, Kwatra appearing to encourage people to watch Sidhu’s film has surprised many followers. Whether the gesture marks a change in their equation, a personal decision to support the film, or simply an independent promotional move remains unclear.
Gulaab Sidhu Makes Acting Debut With ‘Judaa’
Judaa, which released on August 21, 2026, is a Punjabi romantic drama directed by Simerjit Singh. The film stars Gulaab Sidhu opposite Jasmin Bhasin, with Sidhu making his acting debut.
The film revolves around themes of love, separation, sacrifice and hope and has emerged as one of the notable Punjabi releases of the week.
From Social Work to Film Support
Kwatra is widely known for his social-work initiatives through his NGO Ek Zaria, which has previously attracted support from members of the Punjabi entertainment industry.
His reported support for Judaa adds a different dimension to his public presence, bringing together his social-media following, philanthropic work and association with Punjab’s entertainment community.
A Promotion That Stands Out
Whether viewed as a personal gesture towards Gulaab Sidhu, an attempt to support a fellow Punjabi artist or an unconventional promotional move, Kwatra’s reported initiative has certainly drawn attention to Judaa on its opening day.
The film, led by Gulaab Sidhu and Jasmin Bhasin, hit theatres across India on August 21.
