Produced by Rusk Media, the series stars Suvinder Vicky and Mihir Ahuja.

Plot Set in the fictional town of Sukhtaalpur, Punjab, Ghuppi Singh faces immense pressure from his father, Harminder, a renowned Ragi singer. Harminder insists Ghuppi carry forward the family legacy, but Ghuppi's interests lie in football. After Ghuppi skips music practice for football, Harminder issues an ultimatum: Ghuppi must sing a shabad on Gurupurab day.
Throughout the series, Ghuppi deals with school bullies and a new rival-turned-friend, Naitik, who helps him with speech therapy. The tension peaks when Ghuppi discovers his football selection match falls on the same day as Gurupurab. Ultimately, the family reaches a point of reconciliation when Harminder recognizes the importance of being a good human over rigid tradition.
