==Directing career== Despite directing films such as ''Meri Vahuti Da Viyah'' (2007) and ''Chak De Phatte'' (2008), Smeep Kang rose to popularity as a director in 2012 with the comedy film ''Carry On Jatta'', which became a Blockbuster, and also one of the highest-grossing Punjabi feature films of that year. He again teamed up with most of the cast of ''Carry On Jatta'' in 2013, with comedy film ''Lucky Di Unlucky Story''. This film also became a box office success. Following this, he directed ''Bhaji in Problem'', which managed to do good business at the box office but wasn't as successful as his last two films.
