Diljit Dosanjh made his acting debut with The Lion of Punjab, directed by Guddu Dhanoa. Ever since then the global superstar has been a part of several notable films. Nonetheless, most recently the veteran filmmaker refused to talk about Dosanjh.
In a recent interview, when the filmmaker was about the superstar, Guddu Dhanoa said,
“Let’s talk about positive people, real people, nice people, good people.”
He further took potshots at those who change after gaining fame in the industry and revealed how singer Sunidhi Chauhan, who once touched his feet, now does not take his calls.
He said, “I don’t understand why people change. I have met so many different kinds of people throughout my life. I still remember when we were shooting Bichhoo, I saw a 14-15-year-old Sunidhi singing Ek Vari Tak Le, and I was stunned that she sang that song for the movie. She touched my feet, and I hugged her, but people forget all this later on. I even called her a few days ago, but she neither answered nor replied.”
However, the filmmaker stated that not everyone in the industry is the same, citing Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan, Akshay Kumar, and Sunny Deol as examples of positive and warm people.
The film marked Diljit Dosanjh’s debut as a lead actor in mainstream Punjabi cinema and Guddu Dhanoa’s Punjabi film debut as a director. It was a remake of the 2003 Tamil movie Dhool and also starred Jividha Sharma, Pooja Tandon, and Gurpreet Ghuggi in key roles. Though the film flopped at the box office, its soundtrack Lak 28 Kudi Da became a massive success.
