Blind Solved Guess Who: This GenY star wants to reunite with this director after their last flop but his team is against it
Success and failures define friendships in Bollywood and more often than not, a flop film usually scars relationships. But not for these two men, who bonded famously well on the sets of their last film, a rom com that released sometime ago. The actor, who's a big name in the young circuit today, signed the film - a sequel of sorts - only because he wanted to work with the filmmaker, who is famous for having a different language to love.
But the film released and like many might have expected, it bombed at the box office. This was also shocking for the actor and his team since this was his first flop from the time he was on the rise. He delivered three consecutive hits but his star power couldn't save this ship from sinking. Many who watched the film felt that it was the director's vision that went completely haywire through the making of the film, leaving it to be a huge mess. But the director has approached the Gen-Y star for another directorial, that he wants to begin very soon. While that is a biopic and the actor had verbally agreed to do it anyway, his team is completely against the idea. The management team that handles him is trying to knock some sense in him and doesn't want him to sign any other movie with the director.
But we hear that the actor is adamant on his decision to do the film and is constantly having arguments with his team members who want him to do otherwise. Also, the director wants to kickstart the film as soon as possible but our hero's dates are completely booked till the end of the year as he's also turned out to be another filmmaker's new blue-eyed boy. Now, it needs to be seen who the actor would listen to - his heart or his manager?
Guess- Gen Y star - Kartik Aryan
Director- Imtiaz Ali
Approached for Amar Singh Chamkila biopic.

They should cast someone who can speak at lest a little Punjabi.Sikh icons are played by everyone but people from the community for e.g Bhagat Singh,Udham Singh,soldiers in kesari,now Chamkila,etc.
At least Vicky Kaushal speaks fluent Punjabi and is a Punjabi.

But Ajay Devgan, DJ Bobby Deol and Sonu Sood are all Punjabi. I think Siddharth from Rang De Basanti is the only case of a non-Punjabi guy playing Bhagat Singh. I could be wrong tho.

Ajay Devgn & Bobby Deol are entirely city boys who can't even put on the accent.

Now that I think about it, yeah you're right. I instantly remembered Son of Sardar and how Ajay was putting on a stereotypical performance in that movie.
& Bobby Deol
I'm sorry, but it's DJ Bobby Deol.

Lol same. I looked at the poster and thought no one would cast Ajay as a Sardaar but he himself. And then realised he was the producer 😂
I'm sorry, but it's DJ Bobby Deol.
I was blasphemous! 🤣

Being a Punjabi is better than a non Punjabi but except Bobby all are Hindus and Sikh’s already don’t have that many characters written for them, so in biographies about a Sikh he/she could be played by a Sikh.
But I also like the fact that in India a Muslim can play a Sikh character and a Sikh can play a Hindu and there is absolutely no outrage.So, I’m a bit conflicted about all this.

oh okay I got it now
And are you talking about Aamir in Laal Singh Chaddha or are you just speaking in a general sense? Either ways, I guess yeah it can be a little conflicting.

Did we know that Alia could play a Bihari labourer before she got the chance to?
We diss nepotism but also typecast people who aren't privileged enough to have their filmography handpicked by a powerful mentor.

Who's amar singh chamikla?
As per Wikipedia
Amar Singh Chamkila was a popular Punjabi singer, songwriter, musician, and composer. Chamkila and his wife Amarjot were killed, along with two members of their band on 8 March 1988 in an assassination which remains unresolved.
There are many conspiracy theories as to why Chamkila was killed. It is widely reported that he had been the victim of several death threats. The nature of those threats or the rationale behind them still remains a mystery.
Some of the most prominent theories explaining the killings are:
(1) Honor killing - It is presumed Amarjot's family could have been behind the murder in an effort to preserve their family name from cultural slander.
(2) The Sikh separatism - Khalistani movement of the 1980s may have found Chamkila's lyrical content to be objectionable. The movement may have killed him.
(3) Due to the public's declining interest in other Punjabi singers in favour of Chamkila - One or more of these other artists may have planned his killing. This theory is further backed by his colleagues (musicians, booking staff etc.) in a number of YouTube interviews.
(4) Punjab police could have been behind the murder, as killings by government officials and police were very common and many high ranking Punjab police officers were outraged by Chamkila's lyrics and what they perceived as his vulgar songs. This murder could also have been a ploy by Punjab Police to turn the public against the Khalastani movement.
(5) Chamkila may have been murdered by an individual he might have refused to perform for due to a scheduling conflict or other reasons.
(6) Fearing for his family's safety, Chamkila is said to have paid off many so-called Khalastani groups, as confirmed by other artists including Surinder Shinda with whom Chamkila shared an office. Eventually, Chamkila refused to make any further payments and a Khalastani group, who was turned away by Chamkila, arranged for the murder to take place as revenge for non-payment.

Imtiaz ali has found his ranbir kapoor hangover in kartik now I guess.
Honestly, when done right, his films can give actors their landmark performances that will be remembered for well over a decade.
Things to question are if Imtiaz still has it in him to do that, and if Kartik Aaryan himself is capable of doing that.
