Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh team up for a new untitled film after Amar Singh Chamkila, set to release in 2026

Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh join hands for new project

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and actor-musician Diljit Dosanjh are all set to reunite once again for an upcoming yet-to-be-titled film. The duo were reunited for the first time for their critically acclaimed 2024 film, Amar Singh Chamkila.

The untitled film is described as a “charming story of love and longing.” The upcoming film is said to have a contemporary and witty narrative that explores the depth of human connection.

According to PTI, Imtiaz Ali has teased the plot of the film. He quoted the legendary poet Momin Khan Momin’s couplet “Tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota (You are with me, however, when there is no one else),” and suggested that he wants to offer a “touching cinematic experience” through the upcoming movie.

He elaborated, “Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone’s heart? This film has a big heart. It has a large canvas, yet is very personal. It is a story of a boy and a girl, but also of a country.”

The filmmaker further noted, “Wish us well as we dive into the currents of this dynamic story, we hope to emerge next year with a touching cinematic experience in a theatre near you.” He continued, “As the journey unfolds, expect a film that moves you, music that stays with you, and a love story that becomes a part of you.”

The untitled movie is scheduled to go on the floor in August this year.

The film is also expected to feature Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina and Sharvari in pivotal roles. Additionally, the film will reunite the legendary trio of Ali, AR Rahman, and Irshad Kamil, who have previously teamed up to give some of the hit soundtracks in films like Amar Singh Chamkila, Tamasha, and Rockstar, among others.

Imtiaz and Diljit’s upcoming film is slated to hit the theatres in April 2026, on the occasion of Baisakhi.
