Director Imtiaz Ali, known for his notable contributions to Bollywood cinema, is gearing up for his next directorial venture titled "Chamkila," starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. The film is inspired by a true story from Punjab, and anticipation has been high ever since its announcement.

Despite the usual trend of theatrical releases for such anticipated films, "Chamkila" is taking a different route by opting for an OTT platform release, specifically on Netflix. This decision has piqued the curiosity of movie buffs, who wonder why a director of Imtiaz Ali's caliber would choose this route over a traditional theatrical release.

When questioned about the choice of releasing the film on an OTT platform instead of in cinemas, Imtiaz Ali highlighted the universal appeal of the story. He emphasized that the narrative transcends regional boundaries and language barriers, making it accessible to audiences worldwide.

In an interview, Imtiaz Ali stated, "People perhaps that are not from this country and don't even speak these native languages should be able to enjoy it. So, that's the reason why we made Chamkila in Hindi, that's not your question, but that's my answer."

The teaser of "Chamkila" has already received an overwhelming response from audiences, further fueling excitement for its release. Scheduled to stream on Netflix from April 12, the film promises to offer a captivating cinematic experience that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. "Chamkila" is shaping up to be a must-watch film that showcases the rich tapestry of Punjab's musical legacy while exploring universal themes.
