The director further said about Diljit that people can sense his emotions on screen. So, it's a medium for me. Working with such an actor is extremely transparent. It becomes a challenge because I think, 'Am I giving this person everything they can handle?'

The worst thing for an actor is to limit them and not fully utilize their potential. So, one has to be careful about this. But I'm very happy that this is an integral part of the cultural, social, and historical existence of this role.
