About Amar Singh Chamkila

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Amar Singh Chamkila chronicles the life of Punjab's legendary folk singer, Amar Singh Chamkila, often hailed as the "Elvis of Punjab." Chamkila's rise to fame in the 1980s was fueled by his provocative music and electrifying stage presence, though his life was tragically cut short in 1988 at age 27, along with his wife, Amarjot Kaur. The film, released on Netflix in April 2024 and penned by Imtiaz and Sajid Ali, offers a compelling look at his life.

Diljit Dosanjh, recently seen in "Sardaar Ji 3," directed by Amar Hundal, and co-starring Neeru Bajwa, Gulshan Grover, and Sapna Pabbi, which premiered overseas on June 27, is experiencing a surge in recognition. He is also slated to reunite with Imtiaz Ali for an untitled period drama set in the 1940s during India's partition, alongside Sharvari and Vedang Raina.
