He started acting in Punjabi films in 2005 with Manmohan Singh’s Yaaran Naal Baharan, which did well at the box office. He went on to act in several other Punjabi films. He is currently one of the top actors in the industry, and some of the films he has acted in have been hits. He plans to produce and act in one Punjabi film every year, for which he has signed a deal with Bollywood production house Eros International. His first film as a producer, Dharti, released in 2011 and did well at the box office.[8] The next production from his company was Taur Mittran Di, that was released in May 2012.

Personal life[edit]

Sheirgill married his long time girlfriend Priyanka in 2001.[13] They have a son named Veer.[14]

He changed the spelling of his surname “Shergill” to Sheirgill because the name Jimmy Shergill was already used on social media.[15]
