The film took two years in the making
It was the directorial debut of National Award Winner Aditya Dhar. He spent almost two years making the film. According to Dhar at times the crew had to face immense difficulties, but it made them realise the sufferings and tribulations faced by the Indian Jawan in his line of duty.
Role played by Dhairya was unique
The role played by Dhairya was unique since he was not a Sikh even though the character was of a Sikh soldier. To get into the feel of a Sikh soldier Dhairya stayed for two weeks in a Gurudwara.
