As per PTI, Upasana told reporters outside the court, “I gave Harnaaz a chance to act in the movie Bai ji Kuttange. Not only this, I also made Yaara Diyan Poo Baran in which Harnaaz is the heroine as well. I gave her a chance at that time when she was not Miss Universe. I spent a huge sum on this movie. It is not a small-budget movie."

Harnaaz Sandhu was crowned Miss Universe at an event held in Israel in December 2021. She is the third Indian to win the title after actors Sushmita Sen in 1994 and Lara Dutta in 2000. She appears alongside Dev Kharoud, Nanak Singh, and Gurpreet Ghuggi in Bai Ji Kuttange, which is directed by Smeep Kang.

The trailer of the film was released on August 1. It is scheduled to release in theatres on August 19. Apart from producing the film, Upasana Singh has also acted in it.
