Guess Which Star Nearly Snagged the Spotlight Before Diljit Dosanjh Got the Call for the Biopic!

Arre bhaiyon aur behnon, Bollywood ki duniya hai ya koi maze ka jhoola? Har din kuch naya, kuch tadakta-bhadakta! Aaj ki khabar mein hum baat karenge ek aise twist ki jo kisi masaledar script se kam nahi hai! 🎬

So, Diljit Dosanjh is the face of Amar Singh Chamkila, but guess what? He wasn’t the only star aiming for this spotlight! Actor Paramvir Singh Cheema was also in the running, and not just as an extra, mind you. He was one of the final four contenders for this coveted role in Imtiaz Ali’s directorial. Talk about kismet ka khel!

Paramvir, in a chit-chat session, spilled the beans about how casting director Mukesh Chhabra had him on standby. He was all set, having aced three rounds of auditions. But just when the final decision was hanging by a thread, another opportunity knocked on his door. Arre, yeh toh dil ka dhadkan moment ho gaya!

To Chamak or Not to Chamkila? đŸ€”

While Paramvir was in the waiting room of destiny for Amar Singh Chamkila, director Rohit Jugraj swooped in with a golden offer for the lead role in the SonyLIV web series, Chamak. Here’s the kicker: Jugraj was so impressed with Cheema’s past work that he didn’t ask for a single audition. Now that’s what I call a tashan wala offer! Cheema shared his excitement, saying, “The SonyLIV team recommended me post the success of Tabbar. Rohit sir was like, ‘Bas tu hi mera hero hai!’ Of course, I chose Chamak over Chamkila.”

Dil Se Decision – No Regrets! 😎

When Diljit was eventually locked in as Chamkila, Paramvir knew he’d made the right call. He confessed, “When I found out Diljit Dosanjh was playing Amar Singh Chamkila, I was like, ‘Wah bhai, bach gaya!’” 😂

Meanwhile, mark your calendars because Chamak: The Conclusion is all set to premiere on SonyLIV on April 4, 2025. It’s going to be a dhamaka! 🎉

Kiran’s Gyan: In Bollywood, the script might say one thing, but the director called ‘Life’ always has plot twists up his sleeve. Kabhi audition, kabhi direct offer, aur kabhi Diljit jaisa superstar. Life mein bhi kabhi-kabhi Chamak chhod ke Chamkila mil jaye, toh samjho jackpot lag gaya! 😜
