K.D. Mehra made the first Punjabi "talkie" film, Sheela, also known as Pind Di Kurhi, in 1935.[1] Young Noor Jehan was introduced as an actress and singer in this film. Sheila was made in the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata) and released in Lahore. It ran very successfully and was a hit across the province.[2] Due to the success of this film more producers started making Punjabi films.[3]
