During the trailer launch event, Ali, alongside Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra, and AR Rahman, discussed the making of the film.

Dosanjh became Chamkila in every sense, leaving a lasting impression on the entire crew.

“Chamkila” delves into the untold story of Amar Singh Chamkila, who rose from poverty to become a beloved icon in Punjab’s music scene, only to meet a tragic end at a young age. The film is set to premiere on April 12 on Netflix, promising to shed light on Chamkila’s life and legacy.
