Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh who made his Bollywood debut opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan in Udta Punjab is reportedly a huge fan of her. He often refers to Kareena as ‘Queen’ and has also sung a song Kylie+Kareena which impressed the diva immensely. Diljit will now be seen sharing screen space with Bebo in his upcoming movie Good Newwz. Apart from the two, the cast of the movie also includes Akshay Kumar and Kabir Singh actor Kiara Advani.

About his role in 'Good Newwz'

In an interview with a news media, Diljit spoke about how he still gets nervous while talking to Kareena. He also said that the actress is fun to work with. Complementing the actor for her acting skills, Dosanjh mentioned that she can re-do any scene without losing her spontaneity. The Punjabi singer also referred to Kareena as his best co-star till date and an amazing human being. About his choice in movies, Diljit stated that because he wouldn’t do a film where he has to remove his turban, his options get narrowed down. He revealed that his role in Good Newwz was not originally of a Punjabi guy. However, the makers loved his past work and hence decided to cast him in the movie.
