About Amar Singh Chamkila
Created by Rockstar fame Imtiaz Ali, Amar Singh Chamkila features Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra, Apinderdeep Singh, and more in the leading roles. Amar Singh Chamkila is a true story based on the Punjabi folk singer's rise and the events that led to his murder in 1988. On March 8, 1988, Chamkila and Amarjot were shot dead. They were in village Mehsampur in Jalandhar district for a concert along with fellow musicians. Shots were fired at them when they were exiting their vehicle. All of them were rushed to a local hospital where Chamkila and his wife were declared dead.
At The Great Indian Kapil Show, Imtiaz Ali was asked why he cast Diljit Dosanjh in Amar Singh Chamkila. Kapil pointed out that neither Imtiaz knew Diljit nor did he ever work with him, so how and why did he rope the Kinni Kinni singer? In response, Imtiaz Ali dropped Shah Rukh Khan's name.
Imtiaz said, "Mujhe Shah Rukh Khan ne bola tha ki agar is mulk main sabse achha koi actor hain, toh paa ji hain. (Shah Rukh Khan once said that if there is someone who is best in terms of acting India is none other than Diljit)". This statement made Parineeti exclaim, “Wow!” and the audience cheered loudly. Unable to believe this, Dosanjh joked, “Shayad mood main honge. (Maybe he was in the mood)."
