Punjabi munda, Diljit Dosanjh has garnered pan India love for his cute and charming looks, acting and his wonderful voice.
Diljit Dosanjh made his Bollywood debut with Udta Punjab. The actor will now appear in Arjun Patiala opposite Kriti Sanon. The film also stars Varun Sharma in a pivitol role.
UrbanAsian got a chance to speak to the actor in a recent group interview. He opened up about the film and more.
Diljit was asked about the film and about if it is the 245th cop film he said,
“I don’t know if it is the 245th cop film, I have not counted. So when I asked what is the theme of the film they (makers) told me there is no theme, it’s a fun comedy film. I like the people on the film so I did it.”
On the success of Shadaa, the Punjabi munda said,
“I had seen the film and I expected that audiences would like it, but business and all I don’t understand I have not produced a film yet. But I would like to produce a Punjabi film, I have seen they earn a lot of money and I feel I want it too (laughs).”
When asked about learning for the film he said,
“Honestly I have not learnt anything for the film, I just did what I was asked to do. Yes, I learnt that it is called spoof comedy (chuckles).”
About breaking the stereotype about the Sardar in films, Diljit has this to say,
“I just take care that the typical, brother or friend role that the Sardar actors get I don’t like to do that. Whenever a comedy film is comes by I just see to it that I should not be laughed at. Making fun of yourself or cracking jokes is one thing but I won’t want to get embarrassed.”
When asked about comedy being his forte and if this film was tougher than Udta Punjab, he said,
“I like it, but of course one has to think about the scene, and I don’t want to repeat the things that people have already seen from me.”
And about playing a cop for the second time after Udta Punjab,
“Udta Punjab was tougher film, this film was easy, not just for playing a cop but in general.”
When asked about actors in yesteryears and comedy at that time Diljit said,
“Everything has changed now, not just acting earlier everything was done by so much compassion be it acting or anything. For example earlier we didn’t use to buy clothes, mothers use to stich clothes for us, it had her blessing, but now everything has changed.”
When asked about if he has lead and shown the way to other Punjabi singers entering Bollywood he said,
“I have not been any leader as such, I got opportunities so I did what I could. And all the others who have worked here is because they have talent and have worked very hard.”
Diljit Dosanjh has done some amazing films in Bollywood, he is now coming with Arjun Patiala. It is interesting to see Diljit experiment with his roles and win our hearts with his style. Arjun Patiala releases on 26th July, 2019.
