Imtiaz Ali's biographical film Amar Singh Chamkila has managed to impress the audience and a major credit goes to the film's music too. While Vida Karo sung by Arijit Singh in the film is a rage on social media, another song Naram Kaalja has also managed to get the attention of the audience.

Imtiaz Ali recently shared the story behind the making of the song Naram Kaalja and how a group of bold Punjabi women surprised everyone on the sets including Diljit Dosanjh.

Imtiaz Ali recently had a chat with Zoom where he revealed a fascinating tale about the creation of the song Naram Kaalja from Amar Singh Chamkila. The director reminisced about how the audaciousness of the Punjabi women, who were new to being in front of a camera, singing the risqué songs on set brought this song to life and even made Diljit Dosanjh blush.

Imtiaz mentioned that prior to shooting the song and the preceding scene, these ladies began discussing the risqué songs they had been singing in their everyday lives. The director encouraged them to perform those songs, which eventually evolved into Naram Kaalja. He also disclosed that this specific scene and song were not originally planned, but rather improvised on the set.
