Diljit Dosanjh: I want to establish myself in Bollywood

Actor Diljit Dosanjh states that he is experimenting with the film he gets and the roles he portrays on screen. He wants to first establish himself in Bollywood. He also expressed that he is not running after money. He would like to do interesting projects in Hindi cinema. He had made his debut with ‘Udta Punjab’ alongside Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Alia Bhatt. He is already a superstar in Punjab.


Diljit said, “I am not earning a lot of money in Bollywood. I am earning (more) money by doing shows and Punjabi films than Hindi films. Let me establish myself here (in Bollywood). I am not running after money in Bollywood, I am experimenting with films and roles here. Last year in Bollywood, I said no to more films than saying yes. The reason for this was that though the films were good, my part was a character role and it was not that important (to the story).”


“If I don’t like anything I say no to it. I have a career in music if I don’t do anything I will do music. I started (my career) with music and then I got into acting in Punjabi films. People used to think I am wearing turban so maybe I won’t act. Then Bollywood happened. So on its own things have happened in my career.


On the work front in Bollywood Diljit will be acting in ‘Soorma’, a biopic on hockey player Sandeep Singh, and in ‘Welcome To New York’ with Sonakshi Sinha and also an untitled movie with producer Ramesh Taurani.
