Story – Who Was Amar Singh Chamkila
Chamkila was one of the most influential Punjabi musicians of his time, who was born in Ludhiana in 1960. His first-ever recorded song, Tauke Te Takua, made him a sensational star overnight. Opinions on his music were generally divided. Fans called it a true commentary of Punjab, while opposers called it obscene. His band was one of the most popular bands, and he sang along with his wife, Amarjyot Kaur. Amar Singh Chamkila wrote his own songs, and the majority of his lyrics were suggestive and boyish, dealing with extramarital affairs, alcohol, and drug use.
Parineeti has been working hard to play Amarjyot to perfection. Have a look.
Amar Singh Chamkila’s Assassination
On March 8, 1988, Amar Singh Chamkila performed with his wife Amarjyot Kaur in Mehsampur, Punjab, and both of them were killed by a gang of motorcyclists who opened fire on them. No arrests were ever made in the case, and it remains one of the biggest mysteries and controversial cases in the country.
Amar Singh Chamkila Biopic Rumored Cast

Finally, it was Diljit who decided to drop his turban to play the legendary musician.
