In a recent chat with Hindustan Times, Diljit spoke about the film Jogi and said that the subject is very close to his heart. He said, “The year of my birth is 1984 as well. I have grown up hearing about real life experiences and stories about the riots and the era. In fact, I had even made a Punjabi film, Punjab 1984, sometime back, which won a National Film Award as well. So, the subject is really important for me, and Ali sir has picked the right story.”
