Parineeti Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh starrer 'Chamkila' first song 'Ishq Mitaye' out: watch

‘Chamkila’s makers have dropped the first song of the film, ‘Ishq Mitaye’ on February 29.

Taking to Instagram, Saregama India shared the song and captioned the post, "Mere agge duniya ka rang saara fikka, Apne lahu se hi lagaaya maine tikka..MAIN HOON PANJAB!"

The song is penned by Irshad Kamil and sung by Mohit Chauhan. It is composed by AR Rahman.

Times of India quoted AR Rahman as saying, "When you make a story about a musician from Punjab, in such a musically rich state of India, it's always something special. So, Imtiaz and I decided to give our take on the storytelling musical and give it a twist, like a Broadway musical in certain parts. I loved how Imtiaz reinvented himself in the story. Working with Diljit was a pleasure; he is humble yet has a very colorful personality, and I love his growth as a musician, an artist, and an actor, and working with Parineeti Chopra as a singer was also really enjoyable. She was such a delight to work with. And of course, our amazing Irshad Kamil always comes with great lyrics. It is great to be a part of this project."

Director Imtiaz Ali said, "It was very exciting to see Rahman sir dive into the heart of Panjabi music in Chamkila. We could not find a better muse to explore the vivacious and heart-wrenching landscape of Panjabi music than Amar Singh Chamkila, the highest record-selling artist of Panjab.”

‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ is the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar. Amar Singh rose to popularity with his strong music in the 80’s. This angered some people and because of this he was assassinated when he was 27.
