Chamkila teaser: Diljit Dosanjh transforms into singer Amar Singh Chamkila, who was killed at 27 wit
A day after Sidhu Moose Wala’s death anniversary, Imtiaz Ali’s next will remind audiences of another young singer who was gunned down at the age of 27. Netflix original Chamkila, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, will bring to life the untold story of Punjab’s original rockstar Amar Singh Chamkila. Having emerged from the shadows of poverty, he rose to fame in the 80s, before being assassinated minutes before he was set to perform in Mehsampur, Punjab.
The teaser of the upcoming film was dropped on Tuesday. It opened with a crowd waiting in front of a stage as a narrator introduced the performer. Calling him ‘Jawan dilon ki muskaan, aur buzurgo ki shaan (The smile of youngsters and the pride of seniors), the ‘greatest singer of his time’ is called on stage. Diljit, looking different without his turban, entered holding an ektara, and greeted the audience, who cheered for him. While Parineeti and Diljit have also lent their voices to the film, the music has been created by maestro AR Rahman.
