Diljit Dosanjh on feeling Chamikla's energy on set
In a podcast hosted by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Diljit was asked if he sensed Chamkila's energy on set. Diljit responded, "Hundred percent, I could feel it."  

He then shared in Hindi, "We shot exactly at the place where Chamkila was killed. Imtiaz Sir shot exactly at the same place where he fell after being killed. While shooting the scene, As I fell, Tumbi (musical instrument) was in my hand, and its string struck my finger. While I was falling, I could see my hand and the blood falling on the floor. I could sense this is the exact spot where Chamkila’s blood was spilled.”

“I feel like I'm not that great a musician, but I end up getting good opportunities. I haven't learnt acting from anywhere, yet I'm working with Imtiaz Ali. I had never imagined I'd do a film with him. Maybe it happened because of Chamkila. He gave me that chance. Imtiaz Ali signing Diljit Dosanjh isn't necessary. There are so many others whom he can hire,” Diljit added. 

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ also stars Parineeti Chopra and will release on Netflix On April 12.
