A documentary film on the life of hip-hop artist and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh is set to arrive on Netflix, the streaming platform announced on Wednesday.
Billed as a ‘bare-it-all docu-film, the project will see Yo Yo Honey Singh deep-dive into life and sudden disappearance at the peak of his career that startled the industry and fans, garnering intense media attention.
It will document the rapper’s personal and professional journey, featuring behind-the-scenes footage from Hirdesh Singh, better known by his stage name Yo Yo Honey Singh, as well as sit-downs with family members, friends, and music collaborators who have supported him throughout.
Yo Yo Honey Singh said he has spoken about his personal and career issues in the media before but has never been able to “bare it all”.
“I have received tremendous love from my fans, and they deserve to know the whole story.
“This Netflix docu-film will give everyone an honest and sincere account of my life, my upbringing, where I’ve been and my current journey to return stronger,” said the musical artist, known for songs such as “Brown Rang”, “Desi Kalakaar”, and “Lungi Dance”, in a statement.
Mozez Singh directed the film, which was produced by Guneet Monga and Achin Jain of Sikhya Entertainment, which won an Oscar for “The Elephant Whisperers” last year.
Monga stated that she had always wanted to learn more about Yo Yo Honey Singh’s “tumultuous journey with fame,” which had captivated the entire country.
“Thankfully, Netflix has always supported and given unique, diverse local stories to a global audience, creating a space for a perfect fit for a bare-it-all, authentic docu-film like this.
“We’re excited for you to meet the man behind the country’s rap and hip-hop music, and learn about the journey that led to his clout, as well as the controversy that followed,” the producer continued.
The documentary will be released later this year on Netflix.
