Finally he had success with films Daddy Cool Munde Fool and Goreyan Nu Daffa Karo.

Later, films like Angrej, Love Punjab, Lahoriye, Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua, and Ashke won various awards at different ceremonies.

[1] In an interview, Gill disclosed, "During my childhood days, I would stand in front of the mirror, assuming myself as an actor and would imitate scenes.

My father was a doctor, mother was a teacher and my sister was married, therefore often when I was alone at home I would practice to be an actor.

His songs like "Kurta Suha" from Angrej, "Heerey" from Love Punjab,[18][19] "Akhar" from Lahoriye, and "Aisi Taisi" from Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua have been nominated for many awards and won many.

[21][22] The 6-song album Judaa 3 was released in August and one of its songs Chal Jindiye trended on music charts.

His next film Taur mittran Di for Jimmy Shergill productions released in May 2012, it paired him with actress Surveen Chawla and MTV VJ and Bollywood actor Rannvijay Singh.

[25] His next movie was Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22 which pairs him with Punjabi rapper Honey Singh and actress Mandy Takhar.

After that he was seen in Saadi Love Story that co-starred Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa and Surveen Chawla and was directed by Dheeraj Rattan who has written several films for Punjabi Cinema.

Set against the backdrop of the waning British Raj, the film chronicles the love story of a young man and a woman belonging to different social strata.

Critics noted Gill's positive transition from a singer to an actor; Jasmine Singh of The Tribune wrote that while Gill might not "evoke laughter from loud dialogues, but his innocent face and dialogue delivery will leave you in splits".

[27] His releases, Lahoriye (2017) and Love Punjab were also the commercial success which further made him the leading star in Pollywood and garnered praise from both critics and audiences.

Gill has been paired with Sargun Mehta in lead three times in Angrej (2015), Love Punjab (2016), and Lahoriye (2017).

[28] His film Love Punjab had clashed with Gippy Grewal directed Ardaas starring Ammy Virk.

With this clash it was made clear that Amrinder Gill was the next big star as he defeated not only Gippy Grewal and Ammy Virk but also gave tough competition to Diljit Dosanjh starrer Ambarsariya in overseas and domestic box office, and later surpassed Ambarsariya in its total box office collection.
