India TodayFor the longest time Bollywood was known to use Sardars as comedy elements in the films. However, Diljit Dosanjh is working hard to turn trope around in his films like Udta Punjab and Phillauri. Diljit said that he will make sure that people will not make fun of the characters, he will be playing in the future. It is a different thing that Sardars love making merry and having fun, but that doesn’t mean people should make fun of us," the actor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Arjun Patiala, said. Talking about if the filmmakers are now writing roles keeping Sikhs in their mind, the Udta Punjab actor said, "I don’t think there has been a lot of change, but I also think if movies with Sikh characters do good business, things will be different for us."
