Reactions over Diljit’s look
Netizens were observed responding to Diljit’s appearance shortly after the teaser was released on social media. Some people even believed that Sidhu Moosewala, a murder victim in 2022, was the inspiration for the movie. “Oh God!” wrote one user. “The next movie will be based on the legend of the Punjabi music industry, Sidhu Musewala,” another person remarked.
Contemplative experience
“It has been a pleasure working with Parineeti and the entire team, who have put in a lot of effort to bring this wonderful story to life”, said Diljit about the movie in a statement. “The song’s excellent music is by Rahman. A contemplative experience and I hope I can convey his vision accurately. I appreciate Imtiaz Bhaiji’s confidence in me for this role.”
Music by the legend Rahman
While AR Rahman provided the music for the movie, Parineeti also sang a few of the songs with Diljit. Parineeti expressed her delight at the opportunity to contribute her voice, saying, “It is a privilege to play Amarjot, Chamkila’s singing partner and wife, in this incredible film, and I am really grateful to Imtiaz sir for this opportunity.” The experience of watching Diljit on the screen has been great. Being able to work with the legendary AR Rahman has long been a dream of mine because singing is my love.
