The documentary centred on Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, titled Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, has announced its streaming release date. It is scheduled to be available on OTT platforms starting December 20.
Directed by Mozez Singh, known for his work on Human, the film provides an in-depth look at the life of the hip-hop artist and rapper. It unveils the true identity of Honey, whose real name is Hirdesh Singh, the individual behind the media stories, and highlights his swift ascent to fame, including the obstacles he overcame and his journey to resurgence.
Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain under the banner of Sikhya Entertainment have produced the documentary.
Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain, 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.”
They further mentioned. “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. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Director Mozez Singh and Netflix again to bring this extraordinary story to audiences worldwide.”
For director Mozez Singh, capturing Honey Singh’s journey has been an incredible experience, as he said, “He is a fascinating man, who has already lived so many lifetimes in this one life. I feel honoured and privileged to be bringing a documentary alongside the Oscar-winning Sikhya and to have been given full access to Honey Singh’s world. I’m so thankful that he trusted me with his life story. 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 documentary 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”, he added.
The documentary is set to premiere on December 20 on Netflix.
