Diljit Dosanjh to play Amar Singh Chamkila in Imtiaz Ali’s biopic on Netflix
Imtiaz Ali’s latest directorial venture will premiere on Netflix on April 12. Titled Amar Singh Chamkila, the film charts the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, the highest record-selling artist of his time, Amar Singh Chamkila. Diljit Dosanjh will play the titular role.
Chamkila was often referred to as the ‘Elvis Presley of Punjab’ and the film, shot in real locations, promises to transport the audiences to the vibrant and rhythmic world of Punjab’s folk music, right to the rustic Akhadaas (live music performances in villages) where Chamkila’s voice would once roar. The film also stars Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot , Chamkila’s wife and singing partner.
With the maestro AR Rahman helming the music for the film and Irshad Kamil penning the lyrics, the audience will once again get to witness the magic of a Rahman – Imtiaz – Irshad collaboration. Diljit and Parineeti have lent their voices to some of the songs. For the first time, the film will showcase live music recordings done on locations capturing the rawness and the exuberance of each moment as Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra sing live in the Akhadaas.
The film is produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films. The music of the film is on Saregama.
Diljit Donsanjh was last seen on Netflix in the film Jogi in 2022. The film which also starred Kumud Mishra, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub, was set amid tension in 1980s India, where three friends of different faiths unite in a noble yet dangerous effort to save hundreds in their town.
