Sridevi was a huge fan of Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila 

After the release of the film Amar Singh Chamkila, several anecdotes about the late singer surfaced on social media. It has been known that the late actress Sridevi was a fan of Chamkila, and his popularity was so broad that she even wanted to work with him in a film.

In an old YouTube interview, one of Chamkila’s old friends, Sawarn Sivia, revealed this, and India Today quoted Sivia saying, "Sridevi was a fan of Amar Singh Chamkila. She asked him to be her hero in a film. But he told her, ‘I can’t speak Hindi.’ She offered to get him training in the language within a month, but he refused, saying, ‘I will lose Rs 10 lakh in that one month’. Sridevi agreed to do a Punjabi film with him, but it couldn’t happen." 

Meanwhile, veteran actress Sridevi has done several popular films like Chandni, English Vinglish, and many more. She passed away on February 24, 2018. Her unfortunate death has not only shocked his family and loved ones but also the entire country.
