The idea for the documentary reportedly took shape after Dosanjh made history at Coachella 2023, becoming the first Punjabi artist to perform at the festival. His Dil-Luminati Tour 2024 further solidified his position on the global stage, drawing massive crowds across North America. A report by Oxford Economics noted that the tour’s 13-city run in the US and Canada generated $112 million in economic impact, brought in $13 million in tax revenue, and supported 5,300 jobs.

The report of the portal quoted a source saying, “The OTT giant recognizes the potential of Diljit’s story. He has broken barriers, from Punjabi music to Bollywood to the international arena. They want to document his journey from the ground up—his early struggles, his entry into Punjabi and Hindi cinema, and the growing global influence of Punjabi music.”

What the Documentary Will Cover

The project is expected to feature behind-the-scenes footage from Dosanjh’s concerts, exclusive interviews, and personal insights from the artist himself. The report also stated that the series will not only highlight Dosanjh’s rise but also explore how Punjabi music is making inroads into mainstream international markets.

The source further added, “Talks are progressing smoothly. Diljit wants to ensure the documentary does justice to his story and presents an authentic representation of Punjabi music.”

If the deal is finalized, the documentary will mark a significant moment for Punjabi representation in Western media. For Dosanjh, who has already made waves in Hollywood with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, this project could further cement his place on the global stage.
