You do it for the performance itself, beyond any logic, to serve their audiences. That was the strongest impulse in Amar Singh Chamkila’s character, and that is what I focused on.” Amar Singh Chamkila, directed by Imtiaz Ali and produced by Mohit Choudhary, Select Media Holdings LLP, Saregama, and Window Seat Films, also starred Parineeti Chopra.
