Parineeti beefs up for Chamkila. Parineeti Chopra has once again immersed herself in the rigorous training sessions at the gym. The actress, taking to her Instagram handle, shared insights into her transformative journey, revealing that over the last six months, she deliberately gained 15 kilograms for her upcoming project, Imtiaz Ali's 'Chamkila.' Adding another layer to her preparation, Parineeti also spent considerable time recording for the film in none other than AR Rahman's studio.
In an Instagram post featuring a workout video, Parineeti candidly detailed her experience, stating, "I spent 6 months last year singing in Rahman sir’s studio, and going back home to eat as much junk as I possibly could to put on 15 KILOS for Chamkila! (Coming soon on Netflix) Music and Food. That was my routine. Now that the film is done, the story is the opposite. I miss the studio and work in the gym, trying to look like myself again. And not like Amarjot ji! It's been hard. But anything for you Imtiaz sir! And this role. Many more inches to go."
The upcoming film, 'Chamkila,' directed by Imtiaz Ali, is a cinematic exploration of the life of Amar Singh Chamkila, a legendary artist of his time who met a tragic end at the age of 27. Regarded as one of Punjab's greatest live-stage performers, Chamkila's story is set to unfold on the screen with Diljit Dosanjh portraying the titular role.
Netflix unveiled the teaser of 'Chamkila' on May 30, 2023, and the film's music is composed by the maestro AR Rahman. Parineeti Chopra's commitment to her role, including the physical transformation and recording sessions, reflects her dedication to bringing authenticity to the character. As she embarks on the journey to reclaim her pre-transformation self, fans eagerly anticipate the film's release on Netflix.
