On October 12, 2012, Chamkila's wife (Gurmail Kaur) allegedly gave Randhawa’s father the rights to make a biopic about her husband, Amar Singh Chamkila for which she had also received Rs. 5 Lakh. There was no set timeline for making the biopic.

Furthermore, it was revealed by the petitioners that their father passed away on November 03, 2022. When the petitioner began making plans for the biopic and contacted Gurmail Kaur, she began delaying the matter on various grounds. They later discovered that the defendants were already working on a film about Chamkila and Bibi Amarjot Kaur in collaboration with one another.
