The documentary film on the life of rapper and musician Hirdesh Singh aka Honey Singh, titled Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous will be released on Netflix on December 20, the makers announced on Friday. The film is produced by Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain’s Sikhya Entertainment and directed by Mozez Singh.
The film gives a look into the life of the pop-star, chronicling his rise to fame, from the challenges he faced to his comeback.
Guneet and Achin said in a joint statement, “With Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, we delve into his story in its rawest form—from his meteoric rise to his struggles and ultimate comeback as Hirdesh Singh. It was fascinating to discover how little we knew about the real person behind the stage name. After the success of The Elephant Whisperers, we’re proud to present a documentary that captures the resilience, reinvention, and unfiltered truth of this true desi kalakar—a journey we believe fans and critics alike will find deeply fascinating.”
Director Mozez Singh added, “Capturing Honey Singh’s journey has been an incredible experience. He is a fascinating man who has already lived so many lifetimes in this one life. We have covered everything in this film- love, pain, family, success, failure, loss, mental health, and the fight to come back. But most of all we have spoken about the price of Fame. This docu feature highlights his evolution, his lasting impact on popular culture, and a lot of stories that no one has ever heard before. We’re thrilled for you to meet the legend, the man who is responsible for creating a revolution in the Indian rap and hip-hop scene, a man entirely unique in his making.”
The documentary is edited by Deepa Bhatia, known for editing films like Taare Zameen Par (2007), My Name Is Khan (2010), Raees (2017), and Kedarnath (2018) among others.
