As anticipation builds for the December 7 release, ‘Chamak’ promises to deliver an immersive experience that transports them into Kaala’s world, where the quest for family and justice intertwines with the power of music, inviting audiences to witness the untold stories within the captivating arena of the Punjab music industry.
Since speculations are coming that Sidhu Moose Wala inspires the series ‘Chamak,’ we are making it clear that it is evident that Moose Wala’s killing does not inspire the story but his death had a huge impact on the project. MC Square was recently also seen wearing a T-shirt with a print of Sidhu Moose Waala to give a message of “No Artist Should Be Killed.”
‘Chamak’ is concerned about the killing of artists in Punjab due to jealousy as Punjab become the epicentre of high-paid singers they don’t have accommodation in Punjab and live in other countries trapped themselves in the contact of gangwars and business rivalries.
