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.”

Grewal said that he was also one of those people who listened to Chamkila’s songs. Whenever he went out with his parents, he knew what to say and how to behave. He didn’t stop anyone and always tried to do better things in life.

“But it’s not like you listen to one thing and become like that. When Chamkila Ji sang religious songs, they were also superhits. Baba Tera Nankana and Talwar Main Kalgidhar were blockbuster songs of the time. It’s not like they sang that song, and people think they didn’t sing well; they sang songs of all kinds. And as shown in the movie, they also wanted to change. They wanted to not sing those songs, but people wanted to hear them,” Gippy Grewal told OTT Play.

Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila movie is currently streaming on Netflix.
