Diljit Dosanjh completes 10 years: The superstar of the Punjabi entertainment industry has completed a decade of being an actor today.
Call him your Lion of Punjab or Super Singh or Soorma, this Sardaarji is no longer a Shadaa and his forthcoming Jodi is highly likely to bring Good Newwz for the whole Punjabi industry.
It was on this day in 2011 that superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s first-ever Punjabi movie titled ‘The Lion of Punjab’ had released. Less did anyone know that Dosanjh, who had freshly entered the category of singers-turned-actors in the Punjabi film industry back in the day, would go on to become one of the biggest names in the acting field 10 years down the line.
The last decade has seen Dosanjh playing lead roles in as many as 14 Punjabi movies. Had it not been for his seven Hindi movies (starting from 2016), Dosanjh’s number of Punjabi movies would have been much more.
Entering the 11th year of his acting career, Dosanjh has as many as three upcoming Punjabi movies under his belt namely Amberdeep Singh’s ‘Jodi‘ and Amarjit Singh Saron’s ‘Ranna Ch Dhanna’ and ‘Honsla Rakh‘.
