King B Chouhan gears up for two Pollywood releases this year

Pollywood actor King B Chouhan, known for his comedy roles with a social message, is set to make his mark soon. Two Punjabi films — Dama Dum Mast Kalandar and Dulla the Robinhood — are expected to hit theatres by the end of the year.

Having already featured in Teri Meri Jodi (2019), Chouhan is now stepping into a romantic hero’s shoes in his latest project, Vibe Tere Meri Mildi Aa, while also working on another upcoming film Jatt Weds Begum.

Hailing from Jalandhar Cantonment, Chouhan’s journey into acting began at an early age. Encouraged by his movie-buff parents who took him to see films starring Salman Khan and Govinda, he began imagining himself as a film protagonist at just seven years old. His passion for performance grew during his school years at NC Model School and Police DAV Public School, where he regularly participated in stage plays and performances.

Continuing to nurture his talent, Chouhan actively engaged in youth festivals during his B.Com studies at Lyallpur Khalsa College. However, post-college life took him to Australia, where he faced significant struggles trying to make ends meet. “There I had to toil hard to make a living. For three-four years, I had almost given up acting,” he shared.

It was during this challenging period that friends encouraged him to create short videos. Starting with 8-second vines and 4-minute skits, Chouhan gained traction on social media. While working in marketing, his colleagues took notice of his charisma and began calling him “King,” leading to his eventual stage name — King Bharat Chouhan, or King B Chouhan.

A turning point came when one of his comedy reels reached a film director, who offered him his first role in a movie. Although the pandemic delayed his progress, Chouhan returned to India and reignited his acting career. He acted in the Hindi film Pareshan Parindey before landing his upcoming Punjabi projects.

In addition to acting, Chouhan has explored music. He has released tracks such as Updated Gabru, Updated King, Updated Balma and Updated Pushpa, and has also modelled for around 15-16 music videos.
