At the trailer launch event of the film a few days ago, Parineeti Chopra shared how she bagged the role in the film. "I remember it was a Zoom call with Rahman sir, Imtiaz sir and Diljit. I thought it would be just an introduction but then Rahman sir asked me, 'Do you know how to sing?' I answered 'I like singing'. And then he said, 'Ok sing and show.' "I sang 'Dama Dam Mast Qalandar' and whatever Punjabi songs I could sing. That's how he auditioned me," as quoted by PTI.

Reflecting on the journey of Chamkila shoot, Parineeti said at the event, "Shooting Chamkila was like meditation. It was full of music yet it was the calmest, most disciplined, beautiful, and harmonious set... By the end of the day, I used to feel fulfilled. It used to feel like I came back from a gurdwara. I think I have done something good in my life that sir gave this film to me."
