Cast and characters

[10] Gurpreet Ghuggi’s character wasn't revealed in trailers of the film, Ghuggi described his character as “Magic Singh” and added “[...] if would have been revealed earlier, it would have made things and the movie very clear and predictable. The Chapters (trailers) that we brought forward, only showed certain situations, if the veil would have been taken off from my character, then everything would have been revealed.” [11] Babbal Rai’s character is set in the bygone era and he will be seen in a shade different from his earlier performances, also he called himself as “director’s actor”.
