Added Manmohan, "The situation of Punjab today is such that it seems those who went abroad, in fact did better for themselves. "But, we aren't going to be preachy about drug abuse, because one, that doesn't work, and two, we are still talking about cinema as the medium of entertainment," clarified Harbhajan. But, now we have to tell different stories, including that of drugs, besides other subjects." For Harbhajan who has also been championing against drugs in the state, this subject will come as a given. And we wanted to send a message to those leaving the country, to come back home. "Back then, the lure for foreign lands had peaked in Punjab," said Manmohan, adding, "Hence the NRI stories in films was contextual. Now, the two claim the stories will have to be refreshed with modern Punjab as the focus. Harbhajan and Manmohan were also instrumental in ushering in the era of NRI subjects in Punjabi cinema.
