While giving an insight about the film, Sonam told ANI, "It is about two worlds, which are colliding, Punjab and Haryana. So, there is family drama, romance, wrestling, comedy, fun, there is a lot. So, a Punjabi guy falls in love with a Haryanavi girl. The guy doesn't like wrestling, however, the girl likes it and the story is all about how they meet each other and then their families... it's all about their journey of finding love in each other and how they make it in the end."
In the movie, Sonam plays the role of a Haryanavi girl, Neelam while, on the other hand, Ammy portrays a Punjabi guy, who doesn't like wrestling. However, the girl loves it. It is a story of two of then falling in love with each other.
"Neelam basically loves wrestling a lot. Her father, her brother, she herself wants to do wrestling at one point but for some reason she can't do it. She loves this world of wrestling and, her language, her culture. She's very proud of that. And she never thought that she's going to fall in love. She finds so many things in her life, in herself, that she gets to know once she falls in love with this guy," added Sonam.
On speaking about the challenging part of her role, she shared, "I always wanted to play a Haryanavi character. However, language was an issue. It was very tough. Doing a new language with which you have never had any contact before. So, it is difficult to work in another language and I am just very thankful that I got this opportunity."
The film stars Ajay Hooda, Yashpal Sharma, Yograj Singh along with a stellar Punjabi cast of Hardeep Gill, Seema Kaushal, Honey Mattu, Deedar Gill amongst others.
Bajwa shared, "We all really loved this combination that it's an intercultural romance and we actually thought that if all of us are liking it, we hope that even audiences will also really love. I think it is very fresh concept and people will like it."
