Imtiaz revealed that he played a role in bringing together Amarjot and Gurmail’s families, encouraging them to take a picture together despite their initial hesitation. He emphasized the importance of unity, especially considering the complexities of their relationships.

Overall, Imtiaz hinted at the rich tapestry of Chamkila’s life and relationships, suggesting that many more stories were waiting to be explored. Despite the constraints of film duration, he expressed a desire to delve deeper into the complexities of Chamkila’s personal life in future projects.
