During a press conference at the event, Sunny Deol expressed his joy about the film’s massive success, saying, “I was quite stressed over the period of time, and when this film hit the cinema halls, I don’t know why it felt like God came inside me. I was crying and laughing all night and evening. I also met my father (Dharmendra) and said no, I am not drunk, I am happy, what do I do?”
