Writer-director Jagdeep Sidhu: ‘Diljit Dosanjh has been trolled so much recently, but he has reached a point where no one can even touch him'
Behind the glitter and glamour of the entertainment industry, exists a shadowy side that often stays unseen. One sees the smiling face, the faces that make it to the cover of the magazines, that charm the audience on the 70mm, but what one fails to see is the struggle they face owing to their fame. Amid the media scrutiny, their one wrong step, a little slip here and there, makes them an easy target for trolls. However, some stars have found their way around the noise. They have travelled the distance from what people would say to now whatever people will say wouldn't weigh me donw. Speaking on the subject, Punjabi writer-director Jagdeep Sidhu in his exclusive conversation with us mentioned, that when you react the point of success, then, 'ap logo ki aankho me khatakne lagte ho (you start becoming an eyesore for people).' Read on to know what Jagdeep Sidhu said on shutting down the noise in her exclusive conversation with us. Jagdeep Sidhu says people's opinion doesn't weigh him down 'Jab ap start krte ho to apke pas aur cheezo k liye bht time hota hai coz abhi ek aadi cheez kari hoti hai, or jab main time ata hai, jab ap is side se uss side ja rhe hote ho na.. to suddenly ap khatakne lg jate ho, log apko target karna shuru kr dete hai. (When you start working, you have ample time for other things, as there's much on your plate, and when you turn successful that travel the distance from one side to the other, you start becoming an eyesore for people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo They start targeting you),' said 'Phaphey Kuttniyan' writer Jagdeep Sidhu as he candidly spoke on how what people say doens't bother him anymore. He continued, 'Vo ye hi hota hai k apki success se problem hoti hai logo ko. Aur thode time baad vo time ata hai jab ap us level ko bhi cross kr jate ho, fir sab theek ho jata hai. (This happens as people get jealous of your success. After a time you cross that level as well, and then everything appears fine.)' Jagdeep Sidhu cites Diljit Dosanjh as an example.

He said, 'For instance, currently, jitna troll Diljit Paji ko kiya gya hai kisi ko nahi kiya gya, but ab vo us jgha par hai, jaha koi chah kr bhi unhe touch nahi kr skta. Apko upar muh krna pdta hai, apne kaam pr dhyan dena padta hai (Currently, no one has been trolled as much as Diljit Dosanjh, but he has reached a point where no body can touch him. So you will have to keep your head high. ) The writer, who recently worked on 'Son of Sardaar 2' refelcted that the chatter will always be there if you are doing something good, the sane thing is to simply mind your own business and let people say whatever they feel.

Love Punjabi cinema, haven't gone out of my way to look for Hindi movies: Neeru Bajwa
New Delhi, Punjabi cinema star Neeru Bajwa says she is not averse to working in Bollywood, but she hasn't gone out of her way to seek Hindi movie roles. Love Punjabi cinema, haven't gone out of my way to look for Hindi movies: Neeru Bajwa Known for her standout performances in Punjabi blockbusters such as "Madhaniyan", "Waah Ni Punjabne", "Sardaar Ji 3", and "Jatt & Juliet 3", Bajwa recently featured in a cameo opposite John Abraham in "Tehran". She is currently promoting her new Punjabi film "Phaphey Kuttniyan", which revolves around two women who con their way through parties. Bajwa has paired up with actor Tania for the movie. "I've always loved Punjabi cinema, it's my first love. I'll keep doing Punjabi films as long as the audience wants to see me. I haven't gone out of my way to look for Hindi roles," Bajwa told PTI in an interview here. Talking about how "Tehran" came her way, Bajwa revealed it was through a casting director she had worked with earlier on her Punjabi film "Kali Jotta". 'She told me about the role, I loved it, and things just fell into place. I don't know many people in Bombay, so I believe that if a role is meant for me, it will find its way to me,' she recalled. She said the film's lead star John Abraham was down-to-earth and humble. "We had a lot of women on set, and he made sure everyone was comfortable. It was a great experience.' Written by Jagdeep Sidhu, "Phaphey Kuttniyan" is set for release on August 22 in theatres. Sidhu said the film blends comedy and suspense in a unique narrative that breaks away from conventional Punjabi storytelling. 'While we were working on the story, the characters started to form naturally... As they developed, we began imagining which actor would fit best. We were lucky to get our first choices—Neeru ma'am and Tania.' Sidhu, known for writing Punjabi romantic films like "Qismat", "Qismat 2", "Sufna", and "Lekh", admitted that writing comedy and suspense was far more challenging than romance. 'In romance, emotions flow more naturally. But with comedy or suspense, every scene and every punchline needs precise timing and often multiple rewrites,' he explained. Tania, who made her debut with Sidhu's directorial venture "Sufna", credited Sidhu for his versatility as a writer. 'He can dive into any genre and still bring depth to the story. Most writers stick to one style, but not him. Since his first directorial was my debut, we have a strong bond, we're honest with each other, and that helps build richer characters.' When asked about dream collaborations, Tania humorously added, 'We want to build our franchise. If this film does well, we hope it becomes a legacy and yes, maybe we'll earn some royalties too... But sure, if 'Game of Thrones' ever calls...' Bajwa said she is open to a good irrespective of the language or the industry. 'I don't have a specific wishlist. I'm open to French cinema, Hollywood, and Iranian cinema... I just love good stories,' she said. Tania, however, hopes to feature in a romantic film directed by Imtiaz Ali someday. "Phaphey Kuttniyan" is directed by Prem Singh Sidhu. The movie also stars Gurbaaz Singh, Nisha Bano, Amrit Amby, Prabh Bains and Ashok Tangri.
