Speaking about his character from the film, Puri had said, "I play a Pakistani taxi driver. An Indian who is lost in Pakistan and wishes to go to Islamabad, which is burning due to bomb blasts, asks my character to take him there. The taxi driver refuses him but the youngster is so desperate that anyhow he has to go to Islamabad. Though that youngster is an Indian, the taxi driver decides to help him despite knowing that there is lot of risk. They halt in between and he makes the youngster eat but youngster starts doubting the driver’s loyalty that he might have an evil plan at the back of his mind. Eventually in the end, the young Indian fellow is so grateful to this taxi driver, as he opens his eyes by making him understand the importance of a relationship."

Also starring Dolly Ahluwalia, Tisca Chopra, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Samar Vermani, Vaibhav Roy, Ishita Dutta and Feryna Wazheir, Lashtam Pashtam is going to hit theatres this Independence Day.
