Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Diljit Dosanjh, who is all set for the release of his upcoming film 'Jogi' on Netflix, has talked about working on a sensitive film centred around the anti-Sikh riots that erupted in Delhi after the assassination of Indira Gandhi in Delhi in 1984.
Dosanjh, who was helmed by ace director Ali Abbas Zafar, who's best known for 'Gunday', 'Sultan' and 'Tiger Zinda Hai', said that it is important for a story of the kind around which the film revolves to be narrated with credibility and in a sensitive manner.
'Jogi' charts a story of three friends who unite to save hundreds during the riots that tear apart their city. Apart from Diljit, the film's lead star cast includes Kumud Mishra, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, Hiten Tejwani and Amyra Dasturi.
In the film, Diljit's character, Jogi, advocates brotherhood, unity and courage to fight against all odds and go the extra mile to protect his loved ones.
Neha Kakkar is fast emerging a one-woman industry of sorts, belting out hits with astonishing regularity and currently ruling the roost. She says it is never a bad time to be a singer in the industry.
For 'Songs Of The Earth', the musician will join forces with Indian illustrators Anjali Kamath and Sachin Bhatt -- who also created the artwork for Datta's 2019 EP Jangal -- and Earth Day Network India to create an animated film that aims to disrupt, provoke and challenge the unacceptable wreckage of our planet's environmental health through animation and contemporary music.
Although the song doesn't fall in the category of rap, it bears a similarity with that genre of music in the sense that rap requires continuous singing, almost without a break.
Singer Jonita Gandhi has come up with her latest Punjab single "Mera jee karda". "I really enjoy singing in Punjabi, so I had fun singing Mera jee karda. It's one of my first independent releases in Punjabi and I hope people react well to my voice in this song," Jonita said.
