The photo shows Diljit and Parineeti sitting on a stage.

"Mera yaara, mera pyaara, mera CHAMKILA! Happpy bday ji .. Wish you happiness and good health forever. I miss us singing together! And I cannot wait to show the world what we have created in #Chamkila. The MUSIC, the magic," she captioned the post.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Chamkila is a biopic of Punjabi musician Amar Singh ‘Chamkila’, who, along with his wife Amarjot Kaur, was assassinated in 1988. While Diljit will play the role of Amar Singh, Parineeti will essay the role of Amarjot in the film. AR Rahman composed the music for the film.

For the unversed, Amar Singh was a songwriter, musician, and composer. Hailing from Punjab, he became popular with the stage name Chamkila and was regarded as one of the best performers from Punjab. His songs were a commentary on Punjab and its culture. His best-known hits include ‘Takue Te Takua’, and ‘Pehle Lalkare Naal’ among others.Chamkila and his wife Amarjot were brutally gunned down along with two members of his band on March 8, 1988. No arrests were made at the time and the case has been unsolved to date.
