Following the release of Amar Singh Chamkila starring Diljit Dosanjh, and Parineeti Chopra and helmed by Imtiaz Ali, the film has become the talk of the town. The reactions from critics and audiences have been positive. It has been a while since Parineeti has received immense praise for her performance. And the actress is overwhelmed. In a sit-down chat with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti talked about the film, working with Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh and even shed light on her marriage to AAP leader Raghav Chadha.
In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Parineeti Chopra revealed that she was warned by her co-stars that she is risking her career for the film. “I remember telling some of my co-stars that I am about to do this film, and I am putting on weight. So many of them said, 'Have you gone mad? Have you lost it? You will end your career. Don't do this film.' But my gut said, 'No, I am going to do this’,” Parineeti said.
She added, “As I was shooting for Chamkila for over two years, I lost out on a lot of work. I looked my worst, and people were speculating I am pregnant, I have done Botox, and all sorts of rumours were there about me. I was hardly seen on red carpets.”
Parineeti continued, “I have not been seen around because I am looking like this (pointing towards herself). I have still not lost weight, and I am still not looking like myself. But I don't care. People like Vidya Balan inspire me with films like The Dirty Picture. Even in Hollywood, people transform themselves and lose everything. That's the kind of actor I am.”
The actress also said that she got married with the weight she had put on for Amar Singh Chamkila. “I got married with all the weight that I had gained, so whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I will only be reminded of Chamkila,” she added.
The film charts the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses, the highest record-selling artist of his time, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the 80s due to the sheer power of his music, angering many on the way, which finally led to his assassination at a young age of 27.
Starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra, Amar Singh Chamkila is Netflix’s ode to the vibrant life of the legendary Punjabi musician.
