“An actor is more than his ethnicity and his religion. A filmmaker, a director has to be convinced and should be able to envision someone in a role, regardless of Sikh or not Sikh, if the filmmaker feels you suit the role, then that’s perfect,” Diljit had earlier told IANS.
Dosanjh made his Bollywood debut with multi starrer film ‘Udta Punjab’ which released in 2016. Although the film starred noted actors of Bollywood like Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shahid Kapoor, Diljit managed to get noticed by his performance.
