Punjab’s renowned actor and singer Ammy Virk recently shared his views on Diljit Dosanjh for not wearing a turban in Amar Singh Chamkila. Diljit not wearing a turban sparked controversy after the release of the movie as it hurt religious sentiments. Later, the director of the film Imtiaz Ali claimed that Dosanjh didn’t sacrifice a single hair for the film. Now, speaking about the same Ammy said that the Chamkila actor will never cut his hair for money. He also shared that trolls can’t be stopped and people will continue stretching some old stories. 

In an interview with India Today, Ammy said “The film was like that where he had to show that look. The film was based on Chamkila and what we know is that he (Chamkila) did cut his hair, but at the same time, he also wore a turban sometimes. Now, if Imtiaz sir is making a biopic on Chamkila, the character and the film demand that look. As Imtiaz sir said, Diljit didn’t cut his hair, it was a wig.”

“Diljit didn’t cut his hair for the film or the money, he would not do that. Moreover, the most important thing is to see where Diljit has actually taken that ‘pagadi’ (turban). When he was performing at Coachella, he was wearing the pagadi. He is making us so proud, the stadiums are full because of Diljit. We should all see that. You can’t stop the trolls, they will take old stories and keep talking about it,” he added. 

Earlier, Imtiaz Ali told Radio Nasha “I would not want to share his personal details, but yes, Diljit has worn a wig. That wig is like his turban only. He has not sacrificed a single hair for this film. Because he played a character and he knew how Chamkila looked, so he managed to look the part with a wig. He donned the look very sincerely and with very good intentions.”
