Mukhtiar Chadha (Diljit Dosanjh) is a Delhi-based jack of all trades, without a stable source of income. He lives with his widowed mother (Kiran Juneja), and does a variety of professions including being a property dealer, and sometimes being a con-artist. He is also an avid investor in stocks. Mukhtiar also falls in love with his neighbor (Oshin Brar), though the girl's father does not approve of him.

Trouble arises for Mukhtiar, when he brokers a land deal, but the buyers (Yashpal Sharma and Khayali Ram) illegally grab his client's land by only making a part payment to his client. Mukhtiar fights those goons and manages to defeat them.

Director Gifty (Chetan Parwana) and Diljit Dosanjh decided about movie while working on music track called Kharku.{{cite web | title=A film works only if it can establish a connection with the audience | website=Box Office India : India’s premier film trade magazine | date=14 November 2015 | url=http://www.boxofficeindia.co.in/a-film-works-only-if-it-can-establish-a-connection-with-the-audience/ | accessdate=23 March 2016}} Yashpal Sharma claimed he was the funniest villain ever to be seen in Punjabi cinema and termed the film as hardcore comedy.{{cite news|title=My film will change perceptions about Punjabi comedy films, says actor Yashpal|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/amritsar/my-film-will-change-perceptions-about-punjabi-comedy-films-says-actor-yashpal/159715.html}} Oshin Brar was also part of music video Kharku when she was offered this film.{{cite news|title=Another debutante, Oshin has her eyes set on Punjabi film industry|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/amritsar/another-debutante-oshin-has-her-eyes-set-on-punjabi-film-industry/160517.html}} She had to walk barefoot on desert sand while shooting the movie song Main Deewani at Jaisalmer thus burning her feet{{cite news|title=ये एक्ट्रेस पहले अपने नाम के साथ लगाती थी साईं, देखें तस्वीरें|url=http://www.bhaskar.com/news-hcf/c-3-1154223-ch0409-NOR.html}} and in conditions of 55 degree Celsius temperatures she was dehydrated.{{cite news|title=When Oshin ran barefoot in 55 degrees heat|url=http://punjabnewsexpress.com/entertainment/news/when-oshin-ran-barefoot-in-55-degrees-heat-45247.aspx}}
