In the biopic, Randeep played Sarbjit Singh, an Indian national who was punished by Pakistan`s Supreme Court on charges of spying.

The movie also starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead, who portrayed Dalbir Kaur, a sister, fighting against the system to bring back her brother from Pakistan jail.

Though the movie got mixed reactions, Aishwarya received huge recognition for her role, which also won her best actor award at IFFAA, Australia.

Apart from the duo, the movie also saw Richa Chadda and Darshan Kumar in significant roles.

Directed by Omung Kumar, the movie also made it to the long list of 336 feature films eligible for the 89th Academy Awards, in 2017.
