Diljit Dosanjh is busy promoting his upcoming film Welcome To New York. The film also stars Karan Johar, Sonakshi Sinha, Boman Irani, Riteish Deshmukh and Lara Dutta in vital roles.

In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Pinkvilla, when Diljit was asked how different is Welcome To New York compared to his previous films, he answered, "Very different kyunki ek event pe based hai, IIFA pe based hai aur aisi film maine pehli kabhi koi ki nahi thi jahan IIFA bhi ho raha tha aur saath saath mein shoot bhi chal raha tha. Toh mere liye bilkul naya tha experience ke kaise karenge yeh log shoot. So main iifa pe perform bhi kar raha tha saath mein film bhi shoot ho rahi thi. I had no clue kya ho raha tha lekin inhone kaise banayi picture mujhe kuch idea nahi aur main mubaarak baat deta hoon ke aise maahol mein picture ban kaise gayi. Mujhe toh nahi lagta tha ke aisi picture ban sakti hai (This film is very different as it is based on an event, on IIFA and I have never worked in a film like this before where the award function and the shooting for film was taking place simultaneously. This was a new experience for me that how they will shoot. I was performing for IIFa as well as shooting. I had no clue what was going on but they made the film and I want to appreciate them for making the film. I don't think a film like this can be made)."
This is the second time Diljit is a part of a multi-starrer. When he was asked how does he enjoy or feel pressured to be a part of a multi-starrer, he said, "Very much fun. Jab bade kalakaar hote hai film mein toh jimmedari aapki kam ho jaati hai bade kalaakaron ke beech mein. Toh itne bade bade kalakaar hai isme toh bada maza aya. Aur jab itne bade kalakaar hote hai toh naye kalakaar maze mein kaam karte hai kyunki jo bade kalakaar hai wo toh sambhaal hi rahe hai sab kuch (It's very much fun. When there are big celebrities toh your responsibility is less among them. There are so many big celebs in the film, so it was fun. And when there are such huge celebs, new people have fun working with them as they take care of everything)."
