Kesar Singh Tikki passed away in January this year. Anjum spoke to the late artist’s daughters and grandson before the film’s release, who were very happy with the actor playing their father on screen. "After the film’s release, I spoke to Tikki Ji's wife too and she was very emotional. She said that it felt like her husband was back on the screen. She even invited me to visit them at their home in Ludhiana," Anjum shares



The actor is currently busy with the love and adulation he has been receiving and the media tours he is on, but in the first week of May, he plans to visit Tikki's family. "I want to pay my respect to Tikki ji since he just passed away this year. And his family invited me with so much love that I want to return that love to them as well. So, very soon I am planning to visit them. I will feel very good after doing that,” he informs.

Before Amar Singh Chamkila Anjum was also seen in Maamla Legal Hai.

The movie had Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra in the lead.
