Arjan Bajwa pays tribute to his friend

Mukul Dev and Arjan Bajwa have worked in two films together and formed a friendship over their mutual love for aviation. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, "What I am feeling right now can't be expressed in words because not only have Mukul and I worked together in Son of Sardaar (2012), but we have known each other way before that. We had been in touch regularly and were even talking about working together. He was writing something special for me and had a script in place."

He also recalled how they had plans for a script: "We would keep writing, discussing, video calling all the time. I have more than 100 minutes of his voice recordings, talking about work, sometimes guiding me like an older brother."

"He had a great sense of humour. We would often speak in Punjabi, and he'd crack these hilarious, sometimes totally crass, jokes, and I would just keep laughing. It was that classic Punjabi humour we shared and bonded over," he concluded.
