He was accompanied by director Imtiaz Ali, Diljit Dosanjh, and actress Parineeti Chopra. Rahman told the media, “Imtiaz is like Mani Ratnam for me. It’s rare to have such a deep bond with a fellow artist.”

He further said, “The journey with Imtiaz is more about exploring characters and stories together than anything else. Sometimes, I give him something that doesn’t fit perfectly, but he still makes it his own.”

He stated that it was a very complex song, but Imtiaz sat with Irshad (the lyricist) and worked on the lyrics. Rahman said, “He told me, ‘Now I will come back to you fully prepared.”’ ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ will premiere on Netflix on April 12th.
