‘Vidya Balan Was My Inspiration’: Parineeti Chopra On Putting On Weight For Amar Singh Chamkila
Amar Singh Chamkila has already secured the 6th position in the list of most-watched non-English films on Netflix.

Parineeti Chopra is in the headlines soon after her recent film Amar Singh Chamkila was released on Netflix. Her permanence in the film earned her immense praise from her fans and film critics. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film is a biography of singer Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife Amarjot Kaur. Diljit Dosanjh can be seen as Amar Singh Chamkila, while Parineeti played the role of Amarjot Kaur. The famous singers were shot dead by unidentified assailants in the year 1988. During an Interview, she mentioned that she was highly inspired by Vidya Balan, as she also gained weight for the film The Dirty Picture. Parineeti also said, “Many actors in the Hollywood industry put on weight for a film and get back to their original shape. I am that kind of actress. I hope people will love me in the new role.” She also mentioned that her friends from the industry advised her to reject the role saying that putting on so much weight may put an end to her career. She decided to go on with the new challenge, though she lost multiple offers.

Parineeti Chopra recently shut down trolls and criticisms she faced for her look in the film. She shared posts and rumours of how people assumed she is pregnant, because she was wearing loose-fitted clothes. She posted a video on Instagram, mocking the criticism and captioning it: “Entering my fitted clothes era.”

Talking about her interaction with Imtiaz Ali, she said: “Imtiaz sir said you have to sing live on set. You have to put on 20 kilos for this film. Though I just managed to put on 16 kilos for this film. You have to sort of look your worst in a way. But it’s a performance character. I forgot everything else and focused on this film only.”

Amar Singh Chamkila has already secured the 6th position in the list of most-watched non-English films on Netflix. The film has already attracted 2,400,000 viewers and is expected to grow more as the days go on.
