Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh last collaborated on the film ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’. The film follows the story of Punjab’s iconic folk singer Amar Singh Chamkila, often called the “Elvis of Punjab.”

Chamkila rose to fame in the 1980s for his bold songs and energetic performances, but his life was tragically cut short in 1988 when he and his wife, Amarjot Kaur, were killed at the age of 27. Released on Netflix in April 2024, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ also starred Parineeti Chopra and was written by Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali.

The film’s live-recorded folk music and emotionally driven storytelling have been widely appreciated. Diljit also won his first-ever International Emmy nomination this year for his performance in the film. (ANI)
