Diljeet Dosanjh is India's rockstar. The actor wins hearts, not just with his comical social media presence but his impromptu collaborations with international pop stars. This time, the actor version of him returns on the screen in Imtiaz Ali next. No surprise, the internet is buzzing with excitement already!

The trailer for Diljit Dosanjh's highly-anticipated movie, "Amar Singh Chamkila," was unveiled on March 28, 2024. It featured the singer-turned-actor portraying the legendary Punjabi singer.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the movie is produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films. It also stars Parineeti Chopra in a pivotal role. What makes the film "Amar Singh Chamkila" special is that Grammy award-winning A R Rahman is composing the music alongside lyricist Irshad Kamil. It will be available to stream on Netflix on April 12, 2024.

The trailer starts with a scene where a young man living in a small village in Punjab is introduced for a live performance. However, his name is mispronounced as Chamkila. When he objects, the organizer dismisses him, telling him to perform as no one would remember his name later. But his music ends up winning hearts, especially women, even though many conservatives object to his ludicrous lyrics. Later, he meets Amarjot Kaur, his singing partner, and wife.

Both Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra have lent their voices to some of the original songs in the Punjabi language. The movie captures the rawness of each moment by showcasing live music recordings at actual locations.

Talking about his journey of creating "Amar Singh Chamkila," director Imtiaz Ali shared, “I feel that this film or Chamkila’s life is a love story between Chamkila and music. Here is a man who, at some point, felt so frightened by the warnings he received that he broke down and cried. He feared for his life. Yet, a few years later, fully aware that continuing to perform live could result in his death, he still chose to sing.”
