Speaking about the song Meher Hai Rab Di, director Chakri Toleti told mid-day, " We wanted the song to look and feel modern and contemporary and yet have the rustic bhangra style to it. I think Diljit and Sonakshi have done a fabulous job by bringing that vibe to the song and with Meet Bros terrific composition and Mika bhai's excellent vocals, this song has risen to another level altogether."
Welcome To New York stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sonakshi Sinha, Karan Johar (in a double role), Rana Daggubati, Riteish Deshmukh, Boman Irani and Lara Dutta. The film will hit the screens on February 23.
Diljit Dosanjh, who made a debut in Bollywood with Udta Punjab, is already an established actor in Punjab cinema. Speaking of his career in Bollywood, he told news agency PTI, "I am not earning a lot of money in Bollywood. I am earning (more) money by doing shows and Punjabi films than Hindi films. Let me establish myself here (in Bollywood). I am not running after money in Bollywood, I am experimenting with films and roles here."
Diljit, who is currently co-judging the singing reality show Rising Stars, with Monali Thakur and Shankar Mahadevan, has films Soorma and Rangroot, in the pipeline.
