Doesn't projectile-grep prompt you for a regexp?  I don't have it
installed here, but it looks like you have to pass a non-nil ARG to get
prompted for filenames, i.e.,

  (let ((current-prefix-arg '(4)))
    (projectile-grep nil t))

Not sure I follow, when you pass "something" and "*.el" to the function,
those get inserted into the default command so you don't have to type
them interactively.
