Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra’s highly-anticipated film ‘Amar Singh Chamikla’ is all set for its release. The movie features Diljit and Parineeti essaying the role of Amar Singh and Amarjot. Ahead of the film’s release, director Imtiaz Ali has opened up about his initial hesitation in casting Diljit Dosanjh for the role of Amar.
During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Imtiaz said, “I also feel when I watch them together or separately that I couldn’t have imagined or there could’ve been nobody who could’ve played Chamkila or Amarjot except for Diljit and Parineeti. However, I wasn’t sure whether it’s gonna work out with Diljit for some reason. I thought he might not be able to do it, etc. So I didn’t approach him in the beginning, but it’s a little later that I did, the moment I spoke to him, it was just like a different chapter, and now it’s a sure shot thing, and now I really can’t imagine anybody else doing it.”
When discussing the praise for Diljit’s appearance in the film, Imtiaz Ali said, “In a way, he has been preparing for Chamkila ever since he was born because he was born in those parts. Diljit is also from Malwa, from Punjab from a smaller place he knows that language; he knows what it is to be an artist in Punjab, and he knew about Chamkila much before I got to know. He knew everything. When he spoke to me, the first thing he said was that there are many people in this world who think they are the biggest fan of Chamkila, and I’m also one of them.”
The movie is produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films, with its music released by Saregama. “Amar Singh Chamkila” is set to premiere on Netflix on April 12.
