When asked by Nahta about picturizing the original Chamkila songs, Ali explained how he was inspired by live performances. He stated, “When I used to watch Chamkila’s videos, which you can still find on YouTube, Chamkila and Amar Jyot’s videos, because they used to sing and also speak in between the songs. Because they are singers, they’re singing or they said something in between or changed the singing style a little, which is the joy of a live performance. And a recorded performance is a fixed thing. But I wanted to shoot a live performance.”
Ali went on to express why he specifically chose Diljit Dosanjh for the role, emphasizing the actor’s mastery of live performances. “I wanted Diljit Dosanjh in this film because he is a live performer. He knows that when you’re singing live with an audience, the kind of energy that comes, you change it accordingly. And he has done such a fabulous job. Because he not only made the live performances live but also made it live how Chamkila used to do it.”
With Game Changers, Komal Nahta is set to redefine the landscape of Indian cinema conversations. Tune in to the YouTube channel for Game Changers.
