Diljit Dosanjh on Good Newwz: Still trying to figure out Bollywood

At the moment though, the star has a promising offering in the Karan Johar-backed Good Newwz, a comedy that also features Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kiara Advani. While he has shared screen space with Kapoor in his maiden Bollywood venture, the Raj Mehta-directed vehicle marks his first collaboration with Kumar. The actor laughs that the two bonded over their love for Punjabi food.

"I have been a huge fan of Akshayji. I was so nervous that I would always call him sir," he shares, adding that the film allowed him to witness Kumar's legendary penchant for early morning shoots. "We would start early and wrap up the shoot by noon. This was new for me and the entire crew. At first, we didn't know what to do for the rest of the day. Then Akshayji suggested that we do double shift on some days. We ended up completing the shoot a week before schedule."
