Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, who is currently basking in the success of his film âAmar Singh Chamkila', took center stage and enthralled his fans as a part of his ongoing 'Dil-Luminati' tour at Prudential Centre in the US city of New Jersey. Now, the Governor of New Jersey Phil Murphy has expressed his gratitude and shared words of appreciation for the singer.
Thank you, @diljitdosanjh, for bringing your tour to New Jersey with a sold-out show at @PruCenter last night. Diljit's success in the U.S. is a big moment for the Punjabi community, including thousands of New Jerseyans who grew up dancing to his music. Punjabi aa gaye!
Meanwhile, on the work front, Diljit was last seen in âAmar Singh Chamkila'. Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, 'Amar Singh Chamkila' presents the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar of the masses, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many along the way, which finally led to his assassination at the young age of 27. 'Amar Singh Chamkila' is available on the OTT platform Netflix and also features Parineeti Chopra.
Diljit was previously seen in the film âCrew' alongside Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan and penned by the dynamic duo behind 'Veere Di Wedding,' Nidhi Mehra and Mehul Suri, 'Crew' follows the misadventures of three flight attendants embroiled in a daring gold smuggling scheme. Diljit plays the role of a customs officer as well as Kriti's love interest. A sequel has been proposed for 'Crew,' producer Rhea Kapoor told Variety.
His upcoming project is 'Jatt and Juliet 3' with Neeru Bajwa. The 'Jatt and Juliet' saga has been a runaway success, captivating audiences with its blend of romance, comedy, and drama. The franchise, known for its endearing characters and engaging storyline, has amassed a dedicated fan base over the years. With Dosanjh and Bajwa reprising their iconic roles, anticipation for the third installment is at an all-time high.
