In a conversation with Faridoon Shahryar, Udaybir shared that the bathroom confrontation scene was the most important scene for the film and his character, Pinda. He recalled getting a big compliment from Aditya Dhar after doing that scene. He said, "I didn't sleep for three nights. We had a three-day shoot for the scene, and those three nights I couldn't sleep."

He explained, "First night I couldn't sleep because of the nervousness and plus it kind of worked for the character because we had to show he was a bit dozed off. But after that scene, I couldn't sleep for the next two nights. When I asked Aditya sir if I had done well, he said, 'You don't know what you have done.'"

Udaybir Sandhu and Ranveer Singh’s scene from Dhurandhar: The Revenge has completely taken over the internet. The emotionally charged bathroom confrontation shows Pinda recognising Hamza as Jaskirat and questioning why he never returned to his mother and sister. What begins as a painful confrontation soon spirals into a brutal fight, as Hamza struggles to protect his identity and maintain his cover as an Indian spy in Pakistan. Udaybir’s now-viral line, “Ghar di yaad nahi aayi tujhe, Jassi?” (Didn’t you miss home, Jassi?) has struck a chord with audiences and quickly turned into meme material online.
