Speaking at the trailer launch of the film, Imtiaz said that Diljit’s time to shine is now and heaped praise on the Punjabi star. 

“You have already achieved so much but I can guarantee this, this is just your beginning. Wherever you go, we will be with you. I am very happy this freshness came into my life of doing this film. I am thankful to Netflix who took it up with equal love,” he said. 

Imitiaz’s kind words moved Diljit to tears. A video of him crying at the event has gone viral on social media
