The actor, who made a promising debut in Bollywood with "Udta Punjab", said rather than running after money, he wants to be associated with interesting projects.
Diljit's upcoming Hindi movies include "Soorma", a biopic on hockey player Sandeep Singh, "Welcome To New York" with Sonakshi Sinha and a film with producer Ramesh Taurani.
"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 told PTI in an interview.
"Last year in Bollywood, I said 'no' to more films than saying 'yes'. The reason for this was that though the films were good, my part was a character role and it was not that important (to the story)," he said.
"If I don't like anything I say no to it. I have a career in music if I don't do anything I will do music."
The actor said he never followed a strategy in his professional life and just went with the flow.
Diljit is excited about the season two of his singing reality show "Rising Star" that will be aired on Colors channel from January 20.
