A superstar in Punjabi cinema, Diljit Dosanjh forayed into B-Town with Udta Punjab (2016). Three years and a few films later, he admits he is "still trying to figure out Bollywood". The difference in the functioning of the two film industries, he explains, could not be starker. "When I am working on Punjabi projects, they are entirely in my control. Right from the film's budget to the song selection to even the screen count [for the release], I am aware of everything. I am at the liberty to make the films that I want to. But Bollywood is a different ball game. Here, the business scale and budgets are big. I have to figure out how to [position] myself within the [limited] offers that I get. Depending on what comes my way, I pick the best options."
