Rajpal said, “Where I come from in UP, there is a whole settlement of Punjabis who converted sandy, barren lands into green fields swaying with agricultural produce. So, I have always had great respect for the Punjabi community.
He also believes that if Hindus are like milk, Punjabis, Sikhs are the butter, the best part of that milk. Since he was Brought up with that kind of respect for Punjabis, he’d always set his heart onto playing a true Sikh character on screen.

Talking about the kind of reverence and adoration of the Punjabi language, Rajpal says that he is proud of his alliance with this region.

He also said that while shooting for the movie in Patiala, he never felt as if he was shooting here for the first time because of the colossal love he got from the locals and the Punjabi actors shooting with him.
“I have done two other Punjabi films but this film matches my taste in Punjabi films. Among the 200 odd films of my career, this will be counted as one of my best.”, he added.
Playing the female lead opposite him is a glamorous Punjabi model, Annu Chaudhary.
The film will be a mixture of Hindi and Punjabi. According to Rajpal, he has done full justice to the Punjabi language in the movie. He also said that no one would say that Rajpal is not from Punjabi background, after watching the film.
This film will be a wholesome amusement for Punjabi audiences where people can watch it with their families.
