Adding to its stellar line-up, Netflix announced its upcoming film - `Amar Singh Chamkila`, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. Directed by Imtiaz Ali the film presents the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, Amar Singh Chamkila who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many on the way, which finally led to his assassination at a young age of 27. The highest record-selling artist of his time, Chamkila is still regarded as one of the best live stage performers that Punjab has ever produced.
With the maestro AR Rahman helming the music for the film, the audience will once again get to witness the magic of a Rahman - Imtiaz collaboration. Adding to the excitement, both Diljit and Parineeti have lent their voices to some of the songs.
