Anurag Singh Thind, known professionally as Anurag Singh, is an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer born on 17 November 1979 in Jalandhar, Punjab, who works mainly in Punjabi and Hindi cinema. He abandoned medical studies to study film in Australia, then assisted the Bollywood director Raj Kanwar before directing his first Hindi film, Raqeeb, which was a commercial disappointment. He turned to Punjabi cinema with Yaar Annmulle and established himself with Jatt & Juliet (2012), starring Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, which was the highest grossing Punjabi film up to that point. Further collaborations with Dosanjh include Jatt & Juliet 2, Disco Singh, Punjab 1984, which won the Best Feature Film in Punjabi award at the 62nd National Film Awards, and Super Singh. He returned to Hindi cinema with the 2019 war film Kesari, based on the Battle of Saragarhi, and later directed Border 2, the sequel to Border (1997).
