Imtiaz Ali is currently basking in the success of his movie 'Amar Singh Chamkila'. The filmmaker recently promoted his movie on Kapil Sharma's show 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' along with Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. Kapil revealed that he missed a call from AR Rahman, the movie’s composer, because he was overseas. The comedian further said he felt bad and cried the whole night after he missed Rahman's call.

Kapil said at the show, "I met Rahman sir one day and he said, ‘I called you for Chamkila.’ I think he wanted me to sing a song or something. I thought he was just sweet talking with me.” Then, Imtiaz revealed, "He said this to me in a serious manner. I said, ‘Sir we were overseas and which is why we couldn’t speak to each other.’”

Expressing his sadness on missing AR Rahman's call, Kapil added, "I felt really bad, I cried the whole night. It was unfortunate.”

While speaking to Film Companion, Diljit praised Imtiaz Ali's dedication towards the movie. He said, "Every day Imtiaz sir sends a mail detailing bits and pieces about Chamkila’s personality like how he would walk and all. I have never had a schooling like this. He is earnest and very focused. I thought I knew Chamkila because I am from Punjab, and I have heard his music, but personally, I think Imtiaz knows him more. He is a big director, and I wanted to work with him.”

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, 'Amar Singh Chamkila' is streaming on Netflix.

On the work front, Kapil Sharma was last seen in 'Crew' in a cameo role. He is currently seen in 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' along with Sunil Grover, Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda and Rajiv Thakur.
