Earlier while talking about working with Shoojit in Sardar Udham, Vicky had told ANI, "It's a surreal feeling because it's like a dream come true as I am finally getting to work with him. I have always been a big admirer of how Shoojit sir looks at his stories. The way he is looking at the character (Udham Singh) and the world is extraordinary as well as beautiful. Honestly, that's something that will take time to sink in."

While Shootjit said, "If you look at Vicky's track record, he is taking brave steps and making some fabulous choices. I wanted an actor who is ready to give his heart and soul to the film. Plus, he is a Punjabi boy and my film is a story of a Punjabi man. So, in many ways, he turned out to be the obvious choice."
