Chamkila delves into the intriguing life of Amar Singh Chamkila. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie features Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra in lead roles.
Netflix has just revealed the release date for the highly anticipated film Chamkila. Posting on Instagram on Monday, the streaming platform shared a short video featuring Diljit Dosanjh. Parineeti Chopra plays a prominent role in the film.
Netflix shared the video with the caption,”Maahaul bann jaata tha jab vo chedta tha saaz, kuch aisa hi tha Chamkila ka Andaaz (banjo emoji) (A crowd would gather when he sang, such was his style). @imtiazaliofficial ’s AmarSinghChamkila arriving on 12 April, only on Netflix!” This marks the first on-screen collaboration between Diljit and director Imtiaz Ali.
This film reveals the lesser-known true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, Amar Singh Chamkila. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie centres on Amarjot Kaur and Amar Singh Chamkila. Parineeti Chopra is set to play the character of Amarjot, while Diljit will portray Chamkila. Amar Singh Chamkila, his wife Amarjot Kaur, and the other members of their musical group were tragically killed on March 8, 1988.
Previously, discussing the movie, director Imtiaz Ali mentioned, as reported by news agency ANI, “Making Amar Singh Chamkila about the life of the iconic music star of the masses has been a unique journey for me. I could not have asked for better actors than the immensely talented Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra to play in this film, especially since it involves some live singing. The film follows the crazed popularity of Chamkila’s daring songs, which society could neither ignore nor swallow. Having Netflix as a partner, I am humbled to take our story to millions of viewers not only in India but around the globe.”
Diljit Dosanjh stated “Playing Amar Singh Chamkila has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life, and I am thrilled to be returning to Netflix with yet another exciting story. It has been a pleasure to work with Parineeti and the entire team that has worked extremely hard to bring this beautiful story to life. To be able to sing to Rahman sir’s exemplary music was a meditative experience and I hope I have been able to do justice to his vision. Thank you, Imtiaz Bhajee, for believing in me for this role.”
