In an interview, Gippy Grewal was asked if he feels Diljit’s movie whitewashed the late singer’s image, as a certain section of the audience claims. The Carry on Jatta 3 actor answered, “After watching the movie, it felt like they portrayed exactly what was there. They showed that the songs of Chamkila, which people were listening to left and right, many were saying were vulgar songs, but people were listening. People were enjoying it.”
