Netflix to release docu-film on rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh later this year

Singh said he has spoken about his personal issues and career issues before, but has never been able to "bare it all". "I have received tremendous love from my fans, and they deserve to know the whole story. This Netflix docu-film will give everyone an honest and sincere account of my life, my upbringing, where I’ve been and my current journey to return stronger," said Singh, who is known for songs such as 'Desi Kalakaar', 'Lungi Dance', 'Brown Rang' and more.

The documentary is produced by Guneet Monga and Achin Jain of Sikhya Entertainment, which recently bagged the Oscar award for the documentary 'The Elephant Whisperers". It is being directed by Mozez Singh.

Monga said she always wanted to explore Yo Yo Honey Singh's "tumultuous journey with fame" that had intrigued the entire country.

"Thankfully, Netflix has always supported and given unique, diverse local stories to a global audience, creating a space for a perfect fit for a bare-it-all, authentic docu-film like this. We’re excited for you to meet the man behind the country’s rap and hip-hop music, and learn about the journey that led to his clout, and the controversy that followed," the producer added.

The documentary will premiere on Netflix later this year.
