It was with the Hindi film Udta Punjab that Diljit Dosanjh took his first step in Bollywood. Since then, there’s no looking back for the actor-performer-singer. Currently, he is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Crew with Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon. He is also busy promoting the biographical drama Amar Singh Chamkila in which he will be seen in the titular role.

During a promotional event, director Imtiaz Ali, who is helming the movie, went all out with praising Diljit. He shared that while performing in a small town in Punjab, he got so much into his character while portraying musician Amar Singh Chamkila that people thought it was all for real and Chamika was performing live.

In the video shared by Netflix India on Instagram, you can hear Ali saying, “Diljit has performed in a land where everybody is scared to even look at him because he is such a big star. We are talking about a small town in Punjab. The crew and cast and everyone there, was convinced that this was happening in real and that Chamkila is performing. Diljit was not there. So, I guarantee you this man did not know who he is. He was just Chamkila.”
