Diljit Dosanjh talks about Chamkila
During Next on Netflix event, Diljit Dosanjh shared his journey of involvement with Imtiaz Ali's film about Amar Singh Chamkila. Initially, confident in his knowledge of Chamkila, he questioned Bollywood's approach to a biopic, thinking, "We will make it." 
Due to rights issues, they created a fictional film called Jodi. However, when the pandemic struck, Jodi couldn't be released. Diljit then received a surprising call from Imtiaz Ali. Expecting potential legal action due to the rights issue, he was surprised when Imtiaz expressed interest in casting him in his film about the singer.
He was captivated by AR Rahman's music and Irshad Kamil's lyrics. Surrendering to Imtiaz's vision, Diljit embraced the opportunity to portray Chamkila's story on a grand scale, highlighted by a soundtrack blending Punjabi and Hindi songs to enrich the cinematic experience.
Imtiaz Ali understands Chamkila more: Diljit Dosanjh
In an interview with Film Companion, Diljit Dosanjh said he is a Punjabi, but Imtiaz Ali understands Chamkila more than him. Praising the filmmaker, Diljit said, “Every day Imtiaz sir sends a mail detailing bits and pieces about Chamkila’s personality like how he would walk and all. I have never had a schooling like this. He is earnest and very focused. I thought I knew Chamkila because I am from Punjab, and I have heard his music, but personally, I think Imtiaz knows him more. He is a big director, and I wanted to work with him.”
About Amar Singh Chamkila
Chamkila tells the story of the late singer Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife, Amarjot Kaur, who, along with other members of their music group, were tragically assassinated on March 8, 1988. The case of their assassination remains unsolved to this day. The film is set to premiere directly on the OTT platform Netflix on April 12.
Parineeti Chopra shared during a conversation with ETimes that she signed on to the film because she had the opportunity to sing 15 songs for it. She expressed her excitement, saying, "One of the main reasons I did this film was because I got to sing some 15 songs for it. During the filming, my co-star Diljit heard me sing and encouraged me to pursue live performances. Everyone around me constantly planted the idea in my head that I could shine on stage."
