Based on the anti-Sikh riots in the aftermath of the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the film has Soha playing an average Punjabi girl, a mother of two of the '80s. Soha was keen to have clothes in the movie worn by average Punjabi girls.
She wanted a very authentic Punjabi look for which she herself along with her stylish went shopping on the streets of Chandigarh's Sectors 17 and 22 where everything was easily available. From her dupattas to jootisto whatever was required she purchased everything from there. She later said that this was actually going to help her understand the role much better.
"It was a very new experience for me, going on the streets of Punjab and buying little little things for myself which not only added to the Punjabi taste to my attire, but also impacted my personality for my role as a Sikhni, I wanted to get completely absorbed in my character and I felt it was good to take those little initiatives, moreover the people of Punjab were highly sweet and encouraging," says Soha.
