PATIALA – Miss India UK-turned film star Deana Uppal was in Patiala shooting for her debut film Hard Kaur, which is directed by Ajit Rampal.

Deana is playing the role of Sirat Kaur a simple Punjabi village girl, and how every day she has to deal with harassment of men and how she handles the situations.

"Hard Kaur", which is the first Punjabi female orientated Punjabi movie, features Deana as the main lead instead of the norm of having a male lead. It also stars another strong woman and Punjabi screen legend  – the President awardee veteran actress Nirmal Rishi.

"I am enjoying playing the role of Sirat as I feel I have connected with her situation. She is a simple girl but the people around her have bad intentions. The movie shows how five different Kaurs deal with the situations differently," said Deana.

"Hard Kaur" will play a role in encouraging the women of Punjab for standing tall for their rights, always. The film also stars Aman Grewal, Raj Ninjer, Tanvir Singh, Swati Bakshi and Neet Kaur and is produced by Delhiwood Studios.
