Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra set to amaze the audience this Baisakhi, release a new poster of Chamkila

Get ready for a cinematic experience on Netflix like no other with Imtiaz Ali’s latest directorial spectacle, Amar Singh Chamkila! Premiering April 12, the film charts the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, the highest record-selling artist of his time. Amar Singh Chamkila often referred to as the “Elvis Presley of Punjab”. Now, Parineeti Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh shared a new motion poster of Chamkila while announcing the release date.

Shot in real locations, the film promises to transport the audiences to the vibrant and rhythmic world of Punjab’s folk music. Right to the rustic Akhadaas (live music performances in villages) where Chamkila’s voice would once roar. The film also stars Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot , Chamkila’s wife and singing partner. With the maestro AR Rahman helming the music and Irshad Kamil penning the lyrics, the audience will once again get to witness the magic of a Rahman – Imtiaz – Irshad collaboration.
