Imtiaz Ali cherishes Tamasha's stage climax shot

While recalling the scene, Imtiaz gave his views on Ranbir's character bowing to Deepika. He said, “We were shooting this at a studio. It was a stage that we created and lot of work had happened but this frame where he would enter from a certain place and he would enter from another place and they would be looking at each other from a very close distance. It’s a very difficult shot for actors to play because you are seeing them so close and one can’t formulate exactly what your reaction will be when you come so close to another person who belongs to the gender you are attracted to. It was a warm experience for all of us to watch.”

Imtiaz reflected on the media gossip about the duo's past relationship and opined, “People feel that these people (Ranbir and Deepika) had an affair with each other, but beyond that for life of an actor, there is a love for performing with each other, which is very important and significant. You might love to act with each other also and these two actors have that. They have the love for acting with each other. That showed in that frame.”

Imtiaz's Amar Singh Chamkila stars Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra. The musical biopic is based on the late Punjabi singer of the same name who was nicknamed the Elvis of Punjab by his fans. While Diljit plays the titular role, Parineeti portrays his wife Amarjot Kaur. Amar Singh Chamkila is available for streaming on Netflix.
