Directed by Mozez Singh, the documentary will trace the rise, fall, and resurgence of the King of Desi hip hop and rap, capturing his highs and lows, controversies, and sudden disappearance at the peak of his career.
Yo Yo Honey Singh entered the music industry in 2003 with his Punjabi raps, and by 2011, he had taken the industry by storm with several hit songs, including Brown Rang, Desi Kalakaar, Blue Eyes, and many more. He has been credited with infusing the genre of desi hip hop into mainstream pop culture, making it an integral part of the music business in India.
However, Yo Yo Honey Singh’s sudden disappearance from the public eye in 2015 raised concerns among his fans, the industry, and the media. Reports of his struggle with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and depression surfaced, and he took a break from music to focus on his health. In 2018, he made a comeback with the song Dil Chori from the movie Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, which was a massive hit.
