The release of 'Sardar Ka Grandson' on streaming platform Netflix is ideal, says lead star Arjun Kapoor, who believes that it is a film that should be judged by its message and not the box office numbers. The Kaashvie Nair-directed movie features Kapoor as Amreek Singh, a man who goes to great lengths to fulfil the last wish of his grandmother, played by Neena Gupta. The film, penned by Nair and Anuja Chauhan, was initially slated to release in cinema halls but owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the makers opted to premiere it on streamer Netflix.

Given the "unique situation" in the country due to the second wave of coronavirus pandemic that led to the postponement of a number of films, Kapoor said it was best to release the movie on an OTT platform. "There are films that are still holding because they will come to theatres and they should. With our film, we could have also waited but we felt we have got an equally good platform to connect with the audience. We believe the world needs this film to be out there. It is a far more poignant film. It is a story that goes beyond Friday, Saturday and Monday’s business," Kapoor told PTI in a Zoom interview.
