Tarsem Jassar leads Dastaar
Tarsem Jassar is the film’s top-billed star and central performer. Dastaar is set in 1980s Britain and follows a Sikh community confronting hostility, grief and the need to protect its dignity. The public credits do not currently name Jassar’s character, so descriptions that give him a specific name should be treated cautiously unless the makers add it to the official material.
Geet Goraya
Geet Goraya receives prominent billing alongside Jassar in the film’s campaign. Her character name is not included in the official trailer credits or the current full-credit listing, but she is consistently named among the principal cast.
Yograj Singh
Yograj Singh receives prominent trailer billing alongside the film’s other principal cast members. The film places different generations of the Sikh community around its central conflict, but the public credits do not attach a character name to Singh.
Sarbjit Cheema
Sarbjit Cheema is listed in the official cast line with Jassar, Goraya and Singh. His exact role remains unnamed in the current public credits.
The wider Dastaar ensemble
The official trailer also names Aman Dhaliwal, Neeta Mohindra, Aashish Duggal, Kyle Rowe, Aman Sutdhar, Japtej Singh, Deepak Kamboj, Manjot Singh and Paul White. Their inclusion reflects the film’s India-and-UK production, with the 1980s British setting bringing Punjabi and international performers into the same cast.
Several supporting character names are available in the full credits. Oliver Briscombe plays Eddie, Joseph Birmingham plays Frank, Jason Lambert plays Tommy, Vikramjit Singh Khehra plays Vikram and Teddy Jay plays Matthew. These are the clearest actor-character pairings currently attached to members of the officially announced ensemble.
