Want to divide my time between Punjabi, Hindi cinema: Gippy Grewal
Mumbai– Diljit Dosanjh has reason to worry. His closest competitor and fiercest rival from Punjabi cinema Gippy Grewal is back in Bollywood, this time playing a ‘sardarji’ in a film about male bonding titled “Lucknow Central”. He says he hopes to create a balance between his projects in Hindi and Punjabi.
Gippy, who has just scored a huge hit in Punjabi called “Manje Bistre”, has spent 90 days shooting for new director Ranjit Tiwari’s “Lucknow Central”.
He says, “The film is complete now. I had the time of my life shooting with four of the most kind hearted and talented actors of Hindi cinema — Farhan Akhtar, Rajesh Sharma, Inamul Haq and Deepak Dobriyal. I learnt so much from them just talking to them and working with them. I’ve come away a rich man.”
“Lucknow Central” is a prison drama about the bonding among five prisoners.
“There are five protagonists and I play a sardarji. There are no girls for any of us. Diana Penty is a part of the cast. But she isn’t paired with any of us.”
Gippy says he is happy to be multi-cultural in his career.
“I’ve a place in Punjabi cinema. My new film is, by God’s grace, a hit. I want to divide my time between Punjabi and Hindi cinema. Nowadays, travel is so easy. In a couple of hours, you can be in any city of the world.
