Netflix India unveils the trailer for Imtiaz Ali’s next with Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. The musical film charts the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses.
The trailer shows a young man (Diljit Dosanjh) in a Punjab village being introduced in an akhada for a live performance. His name is mispronounced as Chamkila and when he objects, the organiser claims that he should go ahead and perform as no one would remember his name anyway. However, his music finds resonance across the village, especially among women, while many conservative voices object to the ludicrous lyrics of his songs. Later, he even finds a singing partner in Amarjot Kaur (Parineeti Chopra).
