Plot
Super Singh is the story of Sajjan Singh (Diljit Dosanjh), a Punjabi man who resides in Canada with his mother. Circumstances bring him back to his hometown in Punjab, where he accidentally attains superpowers and sets off on a path of self realisation.
Initially, in Canada, Sajjan is a spoilt guy who only wanted to seek pleasure and wants to impress his love (a girl from Canada) but is secretly loved by his childhood friend. When her mother comes to Canada accidentally exchanges the turban with a guy trying to escape death...when Sajjan, who renamed himself Sam just to mix with foreigners, tries to impress Cathy through a game of rugby but is feared that he will be beaten up by her boyfriend in the game. Sajjan, not realizing first, strangely beats them and finds that he has got some super powers.
After days of trying to find out the cause of his power, it finally came that lasted only one day when he was going to cut his hair for Cathy and realises with the help of his friend happy that a turban was the cause of his power. He then decided to stop thinking of Cathy as she finds his culture inferior and helps others to realise all who Singh's are and thus becomes Super Singh. After many incidents and struggles, he defeats a fake guru, the Dass and saves Shree Darbar Sahib from a missile fired by Dass. Then after saving the day, he meets a fake looking web slinger and gossips with him a lot and finds out that it was an actor (played by Sharry Mann himself) who was just acting out for some reasons.
