Speaking to scribes Sunny Deol said “We don’t make films to spread hatred. Our films are rooted in society. We don’t chase controversy. When people watch them, they connect emotionally. They find a sense of belonging and reflect on moments from their own lives, whether they’ve lived them or not. That’s the kind of cinema I love to make. And that’s what Batwara is.”

On Rajkumar Santoshi, he shared “We’ve done landmark films together Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini. This is our first since Ghatak in 1996. Whenever one of us pitches an idea, it just clicks. If the story is good, we both get equally excited because our wavelengths match. We challenge each other constantly. Yes, there are retakes and disagreements, but the end result is always beautiful.”

He said “This film was blessed by my father in many ways. He heard the narration and got emotional.” Sunny Deol shared that it was the last film his dad Dharmendra watched.
