The movie `Amar Singh Chamkila,` directed by Imtiaz Ali and featuring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, is getting praised by critics. The cast and crew appeared on `The Great Indian Kapil Show` to promote the biopic. During the show, Imtiaz shared a story with Kapil Sharma about filming `Jab We Met` in Punjab. He mentioned assigning a local person to oversee the sets and ensure they respected Punjabi cultural norms.
During an episode of Kapil Sharma`s show, Diljit Dosanjh admitted that despite being Punjabi, he was surprised by how much he learned about Chamkila from Imtiaz`s research. When Kapil asked Imtiaz why he chose to make a movie about Amar Singh Chamkila, Imtiaz responded, “I have shot in Punjab several times, and in Punjab, during the evening people get into a mood. During the Jab We Met shoot, one man started abusing and saying cuss words, and people were trying to throw him out, but I went and spoke to him. So he said that I was doing something very wrong in showing Dara Singhji’s family. He objected to the colour of the turban that was being shown.”
