Two of the biggest stars of Punjabi cinema, Gippy Grewal and Diljit Dosanjh have also acted in Hindi films. While Gippy has featured in ‘Dharam Sankat Mein’ (2015), ‘Second Hand Husband’ (2015) and ‘Lucknow Central’ (2017), Diljit has acted in films including ‘Udta Punjab’ (2016), ‘Phillauri’ (2017) ‘Welcome to New York’ (2018). Quiz Gippy whether Diljit has raced ahead of him as far as making a mark in hindi films is concerned and the actor says, “Every person has different priorities. I wanted to establish myself not just as a successful singer and actor in Punjab but I also wanted to be behind the biggest production house and music label. Earlier, I used to produce films in collaboration with others. Today, I do it on my own. I write, direct and produce films. So my concentration is towards that.”
Ask him if he has any Hindi films in his kitty and Gippy confirms, “I have been signed on as a director for a Hindi film which has a huge star cast. I got the offer after the makers saw my Punjabi film ‘Ardaas’ that was directed by me.”
