Amar Singh Chamkila: Diljit Dosanjh recalls pranking Parineeti Chopra; says he had no expectations from actress
Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra are set to mesmerize everyone with their on-screen chemistry in the upcoming Amar Singh Chamkila. Ahead of the release, Diljit shared some interesting anecdotes.
Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra are gearing up for the release of their upcoming film, Amar Singh Chamkila. The film is a biopic on the life of the Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, and Diljit plays the titular role. Ahead of the release, Diljit shared some interesting anecdotes about their shooting days and also revealed it was difficult for him, as well as Parineeti, to copy the styles of Chamkila and Amarjot.
Diljit Dosanjh shares it was difficult for him and Parineeti Chopra to learn Chamkila and Amarjot's styles
During a recent interview with Film Companion, Diljit Dosanjh opened up about the challenges he and his co-star Parineeti Chopra faced in acing the styles of Chamkila and Amarjot.
He said, "It was tough. It was difficult because people have heard Chamkila's songs like rhymes. So if someone else is singing it, it will 101 percent look odd. But we have tried, and AR Rahman sir's team has helped us a lot."
Recalling how he and Imtiaz Ali would play pranks on Parineeti by giving her one pitch to sing while telling the musician a different one, Diljit added, "Even Parineeti, I did not have expectations from her because Amarjot's part was tougher. Amarjot used to sing in a very high pitch. So, we have tried. I cannot sing like Chamkila, and Parineeti cannot sing like Amarjot. We have only tried. Since in the film it is connected to the story, people might like it."
On April 4, Parineeti Chopra shared a video where we could see a reel and real-life Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife Amarjot. The video juxtaposed numerous real pictures of the slain singers of Punjab with the ones recreated by Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh for the film.
Sharing the video, she wrote, "Diljit and I had the privilege of playing the role of two legends who changed the music landscape in India… recreating their famous images in the film and seeing them again today gives me goosebumps."
