On Tuesday, Prime Video India dropped the trailer or series preview of the AP Dhillon docuseries. Two of his most famous songs, Summer High and Brown Munde, can be heard across the trailer. Several voices peppered throughout the trailer call him "one of the most prolific artists of our time" and the "greatest artist in the world" and talk about how "he changed the whole Punjabi music game." Excerpts of his concerts with huge attendance populate the first half of the trailer.
The second half of the trailer suddenly goes silent. AP is seen standing on the edge of a peak, gazing out into the forest and the sky. He's also seen greeting a fan with "Sastriyakal," assisting an elderly lady, and fishing alone. He then sits down in front of the camera, decked up in white, and introduces himself as "Amrit."
