"It's honestly one of the hardest films I have ever made in my career. Emotionally and physically, it extracted everything out of all of us.

There were the long days, difficult conditions and intense scenes. But ultimately, it was the nature of the subject matter which really clung on to me.
I think this is perhaps the first film in my career which required me to recuperate after the shoot," stated Diljit Dosanjh to Variety India.
The actor explained that he typically transitions to new projects immediately without scheduling downtime between film shoots.
"Once a film is wrapped, I quickly move on as I don't enjoy taking a break.
However, after this film, I had to take a week off to process everything that I went through portraying Jaswant Singh Khalra.
The scenes, the emotions, and the aspects of the character lingered on, so it took time for me to pull away from that," added Diljit Dosanjh.
Director Honey Trehan and the producers have stated that the biographical narrative is grounded entirely in documented historical events.
The ongoing censorship challenges previously caused the production team to withdraw the film from its scheduled international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The film also features performances by Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder Vicky, and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan.
