Imtiaz Ali on Amar Singh Chamkila
Reflecting on the journey of creating Amar Singh Chamkila, Imtiaz Ali shared, "Stories of young musicians that challenge the norms of society, who see unprecedented success and then have violent ends is unfortunately a worldwide phenomenon. The life and times of Chamkila raised important questions for society but ultimately it is a celebration of the life of an artist, the story of a musician who could never give up his first love - Music. In Netflix, Amar Singh Chamkila found the ideal partner who was both passionate and able to take the film to the most diverse audience."
The film, produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films, will premiere on Netflix on April 12.
