Imtiaz Ali's latest directorial spectacle, 바카라Amar Singh Chamkila바카라, is all set to release on Netflix. The film, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, will be premiering on April 12.
바카라Amar Singh Chamkila바카라 showcases the untold true story of Punjab바카라s original rockstar of the masses, Amar Singh Chamkila, who was also the highest record-selling artist of his time. He was often referred to as the 바카라Elvis Presley of Punjab''. The film has been shot in real locations, and promises to transport the audiences to the vibrant and rhythmic world of Punjab's folk music. The film also delves into the rustic Akhadaas (live music performances in villages) where Chamkila바카라s voice would once roar. The film also features Parineeti Chopra as Amarjot, Chamkila바카라s wife and singing partner.
For those caught unaware, Chamkila and his wife died after he was brutally gunned down in broad daylight by unidentified assailants. At the time, the two were getting out of a car for their performance in Mehsampur in Punjab. Their case could never be resolved.
Netflix shared the release date announcement of the film with a teaser that was captioned as, 바카라Maahaul bann jaata tha jab vo chedta tha saaz, kuch aisa hi tha Chamkila ka Andaaz.바카라 Check it out here:
