In a statement, AR Rahman mentioned that when crafting a story about a musician from Punjab, a region known for its musical richness in India, it becomes inherently unique. Therefore, he and Imtiaz decided to add a twist to the storytelling, incorporating elements of a Broadway musical in certain parts. He admired how Imtiaz brought innovation to the narrative.
Speaking about working with Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra in the film, he said, “Working with Diljit was a pleasure; he is humble yet has a very colorful personality, and I love his growth as a musician, an artist, and an actor, and working with Parineeti Chopra as a singer was also really enjoyable. She was such a delight to work with.” Further heaping praise on the popular lyricist, Irshad Kamil, he mentioned that he consistently delivers exceptional lyrics. He added, “It is great to be a part of this project.”
Imtiaz Ali also mentioned in a statement that it was incredibly thrilling to witness AR Rahman immerse himself in the essence of Panjabi music for Chamkila. They couldn't have found a more fitting inspiration than Amar Singh Chamkila, the top-selling artist of Panjab, to delve into the vibrant and emotionally charged world of Panjabi music. It was captivating to incorporate traditional musical styles and instruments into the Chamkila album, some of which had been unused for quite some time.
Lauding Irshad Kamil, he added, “Also, there was no better person than Irshad Kamil to bring out the traditional strength of Panjabi boli in a contemporary style for this musical album. Based on the lives of the musical duo, Chamkila and Amarjot, the film always promised interesting music but casting Diljit and Parineeti enabled us to record many tracks live on location. We are very excited to see this album going to its audience worldwide.”
