In a recent interview, renowned filmmaker Imtiaz Ali shared insights into the casting process of his upcoming film “Amar Singh Chamkila,” set to release on Netflix on April 12. Ali candidly admitted to initial uncertainties about casting Diljit Dosanjh as the lead alongside Parineeti Chopra, portraying the roles of the iconic Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife Amarjot.

Despite his reservations, Ali expressed a change of heart after meeting Dosanjh, emphasizing that the actor’s portrayal exceeded his expectations. The film, based on the tragic real-life story of the legendary singer and his wife, delves into their lives and the untimely demise that shook the music industry.
