Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Amar Singh Chamkila featured Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra as the late singer and his wife, who were assassinated in 1988. The A R Rahman musical wil start streaming on Netflix from April 12.
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is awaiting the release of his upcoming musical film Amar Singh Chamkila, based on the life of the late revolutionary Punjabi singer. Known as the 'Elvis Presley of Punjab', Chamkila and his wife, singing partner Amarjot Kaur were assassinated in 1988.
To promote his upcoming film Amar Singh Chamkila, Imtiaz did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit on Tuesday, March 12. When one netizen asked him, "Chamkila is infamous for his controversial lyrics - according to you was his music bold or controversial?', the director replied, "I do know his music was controversial. That became one of the reasons for his death. His work was bold but not in a provocative way - he was just trying to record what he has seen around in his own life. he was specifically famous for his lyrics and we have tried our best to replicate it."
The upcoming film stars Diljit Dosanjh as Chamkila and Parineeti Chopra as his wife Amarjot. On being asked, "What made you choose Diljit and Parineeti for the roles of Chamkila and Amarjot?", Ali answered, "When you see the film, I am sure you'll say this was the only perfect cast. I needed actors who could sing! Diljit for a fact as he has lived in Punjab - he believes he is the No. 1 Chamkila fan in the world - entitles him to be in this movie. Parineeti has a striking resemblance to Amarjot."
Namaskar, Adaab, Sat Sri Akal! Main, Imtiaz Ali, aa raha hoon aap sab logon se milne, aapse dher saari baatein karne aur aapke harr sawaal ka jawab dene! Toh aaiye aap bhi, puchiye apne sawal - main intezaar karunga
