“Chamkila ki kahaani se jude jaazbaat aur jaadu ki ek khaas jhalak (A glimpse into the magic and emotions surrounding Chamkila’s story),” the streamer wrote alongside the carousel. The storyline of the upcoming Imtiaz Ali directorial illustrates how a young Amar Singh Chamkila transitioned from a worker at a sock-manufacturing company to a popular folk singer in Punjab. However, the alleged vulgar lyrics of his songs led to violent protests, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death.
