Imtiaz Ali is awaiting the release of his upcoming film 바카라Amar Singh Chamkila바카라, starring Parineeti Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh in the lead roles. It revolves around the life of the popular Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila, who was killed in an assassination which remains unresolved. In the film, Diljit portrays Chamkila, while Parineeti plays the role of Amarjot Kaur, his wife and the female vocalist of Chamkila바카라s band.
Now, in a recent interview with News18, the filmmaker shared the importance of casting actors who are also singers for this project. He said, 바카라It was mandatory for me to cast actors who are singers as well. It was important for them to sing live. This film wouldn바카라t have been possible without them. It바카라s not like Diljit didn바카라t train a lot like Parineeti did but he does live singing and is used to it. They both recorded the songs after singing them live. The reason behind this is that I바카라ve never had singers singing live during a shot. I thought that in case the live singing doesn바카라t work out, we can always use the recorded version and use it as playback like we usually do.바카라
For the first time, the film will showcase live music recordings, conducted on locations capturing the rawness of each moment. Despite recorded versions, Imtiaz opted to keep the live renditions in Amar Singh Chamkila. Imtiaz added, 바카라But the way Parineeti and Diljit sang live was a hundred times superior to what they recorded in a studio. Live singing has a magic of its own and we managed to capture it. What we recorded was a back-up. The songs sung by them in the film have happened live on location like dialogue-speaking. There were no add-ons whatsoever.바카라
While AR Rahman is helming the film바카라s music, Irshad Kamil has penned the lyrics. Diljit and Parineeti have also sung some of the songs. In fact, Imtiaz revealed how both the actors jammed with AR Rahman, the music director of the film, which will also feature six original Hindi songs sung by famous artistes, including Diljit and Parineeti.
