Netflix has dropped the much-anticipated trailer for ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, a musical extravaganza helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Imtiaz Ali.
The film delves into the riveting tale of Punjab’s original rockstar, Amar Singh Chamkila, portrayed by Diljit Dosanjh, alongside Parineeti Chopra. Directed and written by Imtiaz Ali, the narrative chronicles Chamkila’s meteoric rise from poverty to become Punjab’s beloved musical icon in the 1980s, ultimately meeting a tragic end at just 27.
Underlining the film’s musical prowess, maestro AR Rahman takes charge of the music, while renowned lyricist Irshad Kamil crafts the poignant verses.
