ZEE5 Global unveils the trailer of Detective Sherdil starring Diljit Dosanjh

June 13, 2025 by TVA Editor

What do you get when you mix an eccentric billionaire’s mysterious murder, a dysfunctional family full of secrets, and a detective who brings his own brand of wit, quirks, charm, and chaos to every clue? Yes, that’s Detective Sherdil! ZEE5 Global has unveiled the trailer of the most anticipated original starring global icon Diljit Dosanjh as a genius investigator who cuts through chaos with charm. Created by AAZ Films and Offside Entertainment; presented by Maurya Entertainment Production and helmed by Ravi Chhabriya, this whodunnit unfolds in the moody streets of Budapest, where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. With a stellar ensemble cast including Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Chunky Panday, Sumeet Vyas, Banita Sandhu, Kashmira Irani, and more, this murder mystery promises to keep you guessing till the very last twist. Not a perfect family! Not a classic murder! Not the same old detective; Detective Sherdil premieres exclusively on ZEE5 Global on June 20, 2025
When a flamboyant billionaire business tycoon (played by Boman Irani) is found gruesomely murdered in Budapest, what appears to be a hate crime, quickly spirals into something far more. Enter Detective Sherdil—portrayed by the ever-charismatic Diljit Dosanjh—an unorthodox, razor-sharp sleuth with a flair for solving the unsolvable. By his side is Natasha (Diana Penty), a poised and brilliant investigator with a mind as sharp as her presence is striking. As the two dig deeper into the tangled web of family secrets, betrayals, and billion-dollar motives, the case becomes increasingly twisted and unpredictable. What unfolds is a gripping game of deceit, where every suspect harbors a secret, and each new revelation flips the story on its head. With intuition as keen as his wit, Sherdil must navigate a maze that stretches far beyond a single murder—uncovering a truth that no one is ready to confront.

Ravi Chhabriya said, “The trailer of Detective Sherdil is just the beginning, there’s a whole lot more madness waiting to unfold! It’s been a crazy ride, and having someone like Diljit Paaji on board was honestly a game-changer. From day one, I knew we needed a detective who could balance charm, wit, and a bit of swagger—and Diljit brought all of that and more. The way he got the character to life; and gave it a pulse, a whole new energy that made our vision feel more real. With ZEE5 Global  as our partner, we had the perfect platform to take this story to a global audience. The makers – Ali Abbas Zafar, Himanshu Mehra, Rohini Singh, and Manmeet Singh became the secret ingredient that made everything fall into place. It is a dream team! This is a film with twists, thrills, and a good dose of dark comedy. The trailer may have shown you a peek, but the real fun starts on June 20!

Diljit Dosanjh said, “Playing Detective Sherdil has been fun for me. The character quirks and this attitude is something that I have tried differently. Hope audiences enjoy this character and the film.”
Diana Penty said, “Natasha is one of the most grounded characters I’ve played—she’s sharp and lives by logic, structure, and precision. So, throwing her into the chaos of this case was so much fun to explore. What I loved about Detective Sherdil was the tone—clever, edgy, unpredictable. Working with Ravi Chhabriya was special—he’s clear, collaborative, and gives actors space to really own their characters. And doing this with such a stellar cast, on a platform like ZEE5 Global which is all about bold, diverse storytelling, was just the cherry on top!”
Boman Irani said, “Pankaj Bhatti is a character who commands attention, even in absence. He’s built an empire, but it’s his inner turmoil and unspoken regrets that make him truly compelling. Detective Sherdil is a gripping story about control, power, and secrets—and that complexity is what drew me to it. Working under Ravi Chhabriya’s direction was a joy—he understands performance and emotion at a deep level, which elevates every scene. ZEE5 Global has really supported this story with courage and conviction, and I’m excited for audiences to experience the layers we’ve put into this film.”
Chunky Panday shared, “Bodhi Mama is unlike anyone else in the Bhatti family—he’s detached from the chase for wealth, lives by his own rules, and yet plays a key role in the larger mystery. I had a great time playing him because there’s more to him than meets the eye. Detective Sherdil is full of unexpected twists and humour, and the ensemble cast made it a vibrant set to be on. Ravi Chhabriya brought so much vision and detail to the storytelling—he allowed each character their moment. Collaborating with ZEE5 Global  on a film like this felt like being part of something bold and fresh.”
Banita Sandhu shared, “Shanti is a character that challenged me in new and unexpected ways. It was a role that demanded vulnerability and strength. She’s the youngest of the family yet still inhabits a profound strength. She’s deaf but she observes everything and is incredibly intelligent. Detective Sherdil is full of secrets, tension, and emotional undercurrents. It was a pleasure working with Ravi Chhabriya on his first film—he is a director of remarkable sensitivity and clarity, always guiding his actors toward the most sincere performances. The story is uniquely crafted, allowing each character to stand out in their own distinct manner.”
