Parineeti Chopra reveals her zoom call audition for 'Amar Singh Chamkila' Role!

Parineeti Chopra recently faced a unique challenge: singing in front of the legendary AR Rahman over a Zoom call in Mumbai's bustling traffic. While daunting, this experience turned out to be memorable for the star.

Despite already securing a role in Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film, 'Amar Singh Chamkila,' Parineeti found herself having to audition musically for the Academy Award-winning composer. 

She said, “Two years ago, I was on my way to Karan Johar’s birthday party when I got a call from Imtiaz Ali sir, asking if I was free. I thought it would be a quick chat, but he said Diljit, Rahman sir, and him are on a zoom call and he wanted me to join as well. I was in a traffic jam and I asked my driver to quickly park the car and asked everyone to be quiet, koi saans bhi na lega that quiet. The four of us were on zoom call and I thought it would be an introductory hello-hi zoom call. Rahman sir asked me if I know how to sing and I told him I like singing. I thought it was a safe answer and then he told me, ‘Achcha sing and show me.’ I thought gayi picture ab haath se!”

In the movie, which delves into the life of iconic Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, Parineeti portrays his wife, Amarjot Kaur, also a singer. Both she and co-star Diljit Dosanjh showcased their live singing talents for the film set in 1980s Punjab.
