The film is set to hit theaters worldwide on Friday, May 1, 2026.
The Poster: Cash, Swag, and "Nimmi"
The newly released poster introduces us to Sonam’s character, Nimmi, who is anything but your typical protagonist.
The Visual: Nimmi is seen sitting confidently at a cash counter, literally surrounded by and holding currency notes.
The "Elon Musk" Caption: Sonam’s caption for the poster has become a viral talking point:
"Meet Nimmi, Pitt Siyapa Company di Boss, Jide Elon Musk vi tarle karda phirda ki 'Nimmi ji, mere naal ikk vaari hath mila lo.'" (Meet Nimmi, the boss of Pitt Siyapa Company, whom even Elon Musk is pleading with for a handshake).
The Concept: "What if Grief Became a Business?"
Based on the teaser released in late March, Pitt Siyapa promises a dark comedy premise that is fresh for the Punjabi film industry:
The Premise: The film explores a world where grief is turned into a business model, leading to a chaotic blend of emotions, desi madness, and "full-on siyapa."
The Genre: Described as a one-of-a-kind "Dramedy" (Drama + Comedy), it aims to find humor in life, loss, and everything in between.

Sonam’s 2026 Winning Streak
Pitt Siyapa follows Sonam’s massive success in early 2026. She was last seen in the multi-starrer war epic 'Border 2' (released in January), where her pairing with Diljit Dosanjh was hailed as one of the highlights of the film. While Border 2 was a high-octane drama, Pitt Siyapa marks her return to the signature comedic timing that has made her a Pollywood queen.
SantaBanta Verdict:
Sonam Bajwa seems to be experimenting with her "Boss Lady" image in 2026. By choosing a project like Pitt Siyapa—which seems to satirize social customs through a business lens—she is proving that she isn't afraid of "Siyapa" as long as it brings something new to the table. May 1st is going to be a very interesting day at the Punjabi box office.
