Yo Yo Honey Singh on his biopic
Honey Singh shares, “For years, there have been countless conjectures about me in the media. And I have never really shared my side of the story. This documentary is the right opportunity to tell my story. My fans have always stood by me, even in my absence, and for that, I am eternally grateful. This docu-film on Netflix goes beyond the spotlight to reveal the real me. The highs, the lows, and everything in between. I’m excited to finally share my journey with the world.”

Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain said, “Documenting a career as colourful as Yo Yo Honey Singh’s has been an extremely memorable journey for our crew along with Netflix. It was fascinating to discover how little we knew about the real person behind the stage name. True to the spirit of a docu-film, we’re excited to share the untold aspects of the journey of one of India’s most beloved music icons. There’s hardly anyone who hasn’t grooved to at least one of his songs. And now is the time to get to know the real him, unfiltered.”
They added, “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Mozez Singh, who brings his vision and empathy to bring an unfiltered glimpse into the life of the undisputed king of music – introducing audiences to the real story behind India’s most heard voice. It’s equally exciting to return to Netflix, where our last docu-film was embraced with so much love across the globe.”
