A boy, who had come to Vir's show, met him and informed him how he is related to a family who are riot victims. This kind of intrigued Vir to meet the family. He took time out from his busy schedule to pay a visit to the family. He had a warm conversation with them and felt glad he got a chance to meet the family. They too asked Vir about his experience on working on the film. It'll be interesting to see how Vir pulls out the tough character on silver screen.
When contacted Vir he said, "While in Vancouver for a show, I was approached by a guy who came to to me talking about my upcoming film '31st October'. He told me about his grandfather who had witnessed the incident of 31st October back in 1984 and wanted me to meet them. I was apprehensive at first because I understand it would have been difficult time for them back then and recalling the scenario would be even tougher. However, after meeting them, I was elated that they have overcome the obstacle and they were glad to know that a film is being made on the incident. It's beyond our understanding what these people would've gone through."
