'Chamkila' movie: Imtiaz Ali's film starring Diljit Dosanjh faces legal trouble ahead of its release

'Chamkila' movie in legal trouble: Fans obviously have a lot of excitement for the biopic of Chamkila, which stars Parineeti Chopra Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. The film is helmed by Imtiaz Ali which has been making waves for quite some time. However, as per recent reports, the film has been banned from release. 

The court has prohibited the biopic about Chamkila. It's true what you read. A local court is reportedly ordering Reliance Entertainment, producer Imtiaz Ali, actor Diljit Dosanjh, Parineeti Chopra, and Gurmail Kaur—the widow of the late Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila—not to broadcast, release, upload, or stream the biopic (film) on Chamkila and singer Bibi Amarjot Kaur in any way.

The late producer Gurdev Singh Randhawa's sons, Isjeet and Sanjot Randhawa, filed the petition. Following the hearing of their case, the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Harsimranjit Singh's court made the directives.

On October 12, 2012, it was claimed that Chamkila's widow had granted Randhawas' father the authority to make a biography of her husband. She further got Rs. 5 lakh. The production of the biopic had no set deadline.

More specifically, it was said that their father passed away on November 3, 2022. As soon as Gurmail Kaur was approached by the petitioner and arrangements for the biography began to be made, she began to use various justifications to put the process on hold. 

They eventually discovered that the accused were already working on a film on Chamkila and Bibi Amarjot Kaur while plotting together. Producer Imtiaz Ali has begun work on that for Reliance Entertainment. Currently, the defendants have been ordered to appear in court on March 28, 2023.
