Mumbai: Diljit Dosanjh has quietly confirmed he is reuniting with director Imtiaz Ali for a second film, and he did it the way his fans love best: by giving them a peek into daily life on set. An actor behind the scenes vlog to his current shoot in Punjab depicts the actor in morning training, set and relaxing in a picturesque haveli, after a full day. On Thursday, the short video uploaded on Instagram shows that Imtiaz Ali is once again directing Diljit Dosanjh on an untitled project following the success of Amar Singh Chamkila.
Vlog reveals an early start and focused routine
The vlog starts at 4:30 am, where Diljit Dosanjh has already started his day before the sun rises. The audience witnesses him exercising, enjoying a basic breakfast of fruit and protein, and getting to the shoot with his crew. Clips from the set show Diljit filming in front of a green screen and sharing warm on camera moments with Imtiaz Ali. After wrap the actor returns to the haveli where he is staying during the shoot, giving the clip a calm and intimate ending that fans appreciated.
The Imtiaz Ali reunion
This untitled film marks Diljit and Imtiaz Ali’s second collaboration after their highly praised Amar Singh Chamkila. That earlier project brought a complicated chapter of Punjabi music history to a global audience and solidified both artist and director as a serious creative force. The new reunion suggests the duo want to build on that creative chemistry, and the relaxed, collaborative tone seen in the vlog hints at a production that values craft and comfort on set.
Chamkila legacy and international recognition
Amar Singh Chamkila narrated the tale of a controversial and popular Punjabi singer called the Elvis of Punjab. The film caused ripples even outside India as it also received two nominations in the International Emmy Awards with Diljit nominated in the Best Actor category and a nomination in the Best TV Movie or Mini Series. It may not have won, but the exposure broadened the scope of the Punjabi storytelling and reinforced the long-term impact of Chamkila on the culture. The tragic assassination of Chamkila and his wife Amarjot in 1988 is one angry and painful aspect of that legacy.
Work front of Diljit Dosanjh
On the work front Diljit Dosanjh is busy and visible across genres. With this Imtiaz Ali project he will also feature in Border 2, the long awaited follow-up to the 1997 film by J.P. Dutta. Directed by Anurag Singh, Border 2 has Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty as the main leads, alongside Diljit Dosanjh. Promotional material positions Diljit as a fighter pilot, seated in a jet, signaling a bold and action focused avatar for him. Border 2 will be released on January 23, 2026 and is produced by T Series and J.P. Films, promising large scale battles, emotional stakes and patriotic drama for modern audiences.
What to watch for next
The Imtiaz Ali film remains untitled and details are being revealed slowly through on set moments rather than full announcements. Expect more behind the scenes glimpses and possibly a formal reveal once principal shooting progresses. Meanwhile Border 2 will continue to make Diljit Dosanjh headlines as it releases on January 23, 2026, and has had a high profile promotion of his new action oriented appearance.
