The trailer of Imtiaz Ali’s highly anticipated film Amar Singh Chamkila is finally out. It was launched at a grand event in Mumbai on Thursday which was also attended by the film’s cast including Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. The film will be released on the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi i.e. on April 13.
The trailer revealed that the film was shot in real locations. It introduces us to Amar Singh Chamkila – Punjab’s original rockstar, who was often referred to as the ‘Elvis Presley of Punjab’. It also promises to take audiences to the vibrant and rhythmic world of Punjab’s folk music, right to the rustic Akhadaas (live music performances in villages) where Chamkila’s voice would once roar. The trailer also makes it clear that in the film, Parineeti Chopra will be seen playing the role of Amarjot, Chamkila’s wife and singing partner. Watch it here:
Soon after the trailer was released, several social media users reacted to it and expressed excitement for the film. While some argued that the film will surely be a “blockbuster", others mentioned that they cannot wait to watch the film for Diljit.
Previously, in an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Imtiaz talked about getting Diljit and Parineeti on board when he explained why it was important for him to cast actors who are also singers.
“It was mandatory for me to cast actors who are singers as well. It was important for them to sing live. This film wouldn’t have been possible without them. It’s not like Diljit didn’t 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 I’ve never had singers singing live during a shot. I thought that in case, the live singing doesn’t work out, we can always use the recorded version and use it as playback like we usually do," he said.
