If an actor says his film will work trust me he doesn't know anything

Diljit is a huge star in Punjab and with his acting skills the actor has also made his mark in Bollywood too.

In an interview with a leading daily, when the actor was asked on what basis he chooses doing a film in both the film industries, he answered, "Like I said, I am not such a serious person and this is not my field anyway. Films are a director's medium. If a film is good, you will sail through it even if you're average, but if the film is bad, it won't help even if you put your best foot forward. No matter how loudly an actor says that he knew his film would work, trust me, he doesn't know anything. It's all a lie when they say, 'I knew this will work'. No one except the director knows whether something will work or not. So, these things don't become my benchmarks."

Currently, he is promoting his film, "Welcome To New York" and it also stars Karan Johar, Sonakshi Sinha, Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh in lead roles. Apart from Welcome To New York, Diljit will also be seen in Soorma and Arjun Patiala.

However, his film Soorma will be clashing with Ranbir Kapoor's Dutt biopic when he was asked about it, he said, "Oh! I am a huge fan of Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor, so I will watch the Dutt biopic. I am sure it will be good. Competition toh hota hi rehta hai (Competition will always be there)."

About his film Soorma, he said, "I got to learn hockey from Sandeep paaji himself. He didn't hold anything back and told me everything about himself and the game. At the outset, it was difficult to hold the hockey stick, because I have never been a sportsperson and neither have I followed any sport too closely. Music was my only focus. Funnily enough, hockey and cricket seemed the same to me because I thought dono mein ball hi toh maarni hai. However, when I started playing hockey, I realized the massive difference between the two sports. Hockey takes a toll on your back, and your nails can bleed while striking. To add to it, I had to portray one of the finest hockey players of his time. Sandeep paaji is the best drag flicker in the country. I spent 10 days just trying to get his stance right. The film has wrapped up, but even today, I can't play as fast as him. Speed hi nahi hai, but I can do the drag flick."
