Amar Singh Chamkila
Musician Amar Singh Chamkila, who was widely known for his mind-blowing Punjabi songs, is still famous for his vivid language, high-pitched vocals, and novel compositions accompanied with masterful Tumbi. Chamkila and his second wife Amarjot Kaur were brutally killed, along with two members of their band, in March 1988 and the case still remains unresolved.
Hence, to portray Chamkila’s life on screen, director Imtiaz Ali joined hands with Netflix and made a biopic titled, Amar Singh Chamkila. Fans of the musician will soon be able to watch the film on April 12, 2024, only on Netflix. But before that, here we have some secrets about Diljit Dosanjh, who portrayed the titular role of Amar Singh Chamkila. Dosanjh is also a famous Punjabi singer. However, nowadays, his aura and talent are not limited to Punjabi industry. He's making heads turn in Bollywood as well.
This is the first time Proper Patola-singer worked in a biopic, and he's super excited. During an interaction with Netflix, the 40-year-old singer revealed that he never hides a single thing in life. People even used to listen to Chamkila's songs secretly due to numerous scandals, but he never did that. Rather he is proud to listen to Chamkila's songs. Other than this, Diljit jokingly revealed that he used to hide eating high-calorie foods such as paneer, butter, etc. from his gym trainer and crew. It was shocking yet interesting to know that the Kinni Kinni-singer had no idea what calorie actually is, and why we have to maintain it and lose the extra calories.
Apart from Diljit Dosanjh, Amar Singh Chamkila also stars Parineeti Chopra as Chamkila’s wife Amarjot Kaur. This is the first time the duo has collaborated on a project, and after watching the trailer, netizens are super excited to watch their chemistry onscreen.
However, a few netizens were disappointed to note that the biopic does not seem to be highlighting the issue of casteism and is mostly focusing on the romance part. They even bashed Bollywood for not having the courage to talk about the issue in front of the world. Others are quite excited to watch the biopic on the legend.
