More about Chamkila

Made by the ace director Imtiaz Ali, the movie tells the untold story of the late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, who is regarded as one of the best live stage performers. Chamkila, whose real name was Dhanni Ram was assassinated along with his wife Amarjot and two band members, on 8 March 1988 in Mehsanpur, Punjab. The mystery around their murderremains unsolved to date.

The movie marks the first collaboration of Parineeti and Diljit.

Talking about the film, director Imtiaz Ali told ANI, "Making Amar Singh Chamkila about the life of the iconic music star of the masses has been a unique journey for me. I could not have asked for better actors than the immensely talented Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra to play in this film, especially since it involves some live singing. The film follows the crazed popularity of Chamkila's daring songs, which society could neither ignore nor swallow. Having Netflix as a partner, I am humbled to take our story to millions of viewers not only in India but around the globe."
