He added that, since he was a Punjabi, the film’s topic was extremely close to his heart.

He added that, all of us had been listening to the ‘Sardar Udham’s story since our childhood days and always used to wonder the reason as to why are not many people know about the said topic. He added that, when he got the opportunity to work in the said film, it was indeed a big deal for him.
