Director Imtiaz Ali also shared the video on his Instagram Stories and said, "This was not used in the film :)." Parineeti Chopra reposted the video and wrote, "My favorite akhada. Completely impromptu. Unseen in Chamkila."

Helmed by Imtiaz Ali, Amar Singh Chamkila revolves around the untold true story of Punjab's original rockstar of the masses, who emerged from the shadows of poverty and rose to the heights of popularity in the eighties due to the sheer power of his music. This angered many along the way, leading to the couple's assassination. Chamkila was killed when he was only 27.

Diljit Dosanjh portrayed Chamkila, the top-selling artist of his era. Parineeti Chopra essayed the role of Amar Singh Chamkila's wife, Amarjot Kaur. The film was released on Netlix on April 12 last year.

This was such a beautiful surprise! 😍 The chemistry between Diljit and Parineeti is magical even in these unused scenes. Why wasn't this included in the final cut? Would've loved to see more of their musical moments together!

Chamkila was hands down one of the best biopics I've seen. Diljit's performance was award-worthy. The raw emotion in this unused footage just proves how much effort went into this project. Can't believe it's already been a year!

While I loved the film, I do wish they had included more of Chamkila's musical journey. The story felt a bit rushed in the second half. But this unused footage is gold - their voices blend so naturally!

Respectful criticism: The film was great but I think they could have explored more about the political climate that led to Chamkila's tragic end. That said, the music and performances were outstanding.

Watching this makes me emotional all over again. What a tragic yet inspiring story. Diljit completely transformed into Chamkila - you could feel his passion in every frame. One year later and I'm still listening to the soundtrack daily!
