Kartik Aaryan has his plate full of films. He took a high jump from doing Punchnama-like films to now bagging films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Dostana 2. The most excited that the fans are right now for his outing with Imtiaz Ali and Sara Ali Khan with Love Aaj Kal sequel. It is indeed a blessing to get an Imtiaz Ali film so early in the career where one gets to tap his own potential in a way done never before. Well, now the latest reports say that he has already grabbed a second film with the director which is a biopic of late Punjabi Singer named Amar Singh Chamkila. Kartik Aaryan Enters 'Rajshri' Camp?

But the twist here is that Imtiaz will overlook the movie only as a producer while the director’s hat will be donned by his brother Sajid Ali. The sibling duo had earlier collaborated in the same way for critically acclaimed Bollywood romance, Laila Majnu.

A source close to the development told Bollywood Hungama, "Kartik Aaryan has been reportedly approached to play the role of popular Punjabi singer late Amar Singh Chamkila. This would be another collaboration between Kartik and Imtiaz. But, the filmmaker won’t direct it. The film will be produced by Imtiaz Ali and Reliance Entertainment and directed by Imtiaz’s brother Sajid Ali who made his directorial debut last year with Avinash Tiwary’s Laila Majnu.”

Well, that’s not just something challenging for Imtiaz who has more of delved deep into relationship stories but also for the actor who has been hitting the bull’s eye mostly with his monologues. Chamkila was best known for his numbers like "Pehle Lalkare Naal", "Baba Tera Nankana" and "Talwar Main Kalgidhar Di.” Considered as a legend in the Punjabi music industry, he was also one of the best stage performers. He and his wife Amarjot along with other two band members were killed by a group of armed youngsters.
