Bhai Beant Singh was martyred by other bodyguards of Indira Gandhi. Bhai Satwant Singh was also wounded but he had survived the injuries. He was sentenced to death along with Bhai Kehar Singh.

The producers of the movie have announced to release this movie on February 28, 2014 though there are suspicions if the censor board would clear this movie for release.
