Amar Singh Chamkila Earns Double Nods But Misses Out on Wins in New York

The project turned out empty-handed at the Emmys during the ceremony, which took place on Monday night in New York City.

Refreshing your memory, Amar Singh Chamkila was in the running for the 'Best TV Movie/Mini-Series' category, along with Germany's Herrhausen: The Banker and the Bomb, the UK's Lost Boys and Fairies, and Chile's Vencer o Morir (Victory or Death). The award was finally given to "Lost Boys and Fairies".

All hopes were lost when Diljit, who was nominated in the 'Best Performance by an Actor' category, alongside David Mitchell for Ludwig, Oriol Pla for Yo, adicto (I, Addict), and Diego Vasquez for One Hundred Years of Solitude, also lost the title to the Spanish actor Oriol Pla.

Nevertheless, Diljit and Imtiaz created quite a splash at the red carpet of the International Emmys. Diljit was seen greeting the photographers with his signature namaste during the ceremony.

Along with Diljit and Imtiaz, the Netflix India team, including Vice President, Content, Monika Shergill, and Director, Original Films, Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, were also present at the event.

The 'Rockstar' maker shared, "For me, this was a love story between an artist and his art. A singer and performance are like lovers, and at some point of time, you don’t do it for money, success, and glamour, you do it for the performance itself, beyond any logic, to serve their audiences, and that was the strongest impulse in Amar Singh Chamkila’s character, and that is what I focused on."
