Baari had its world premiere at International Film Festival of South Asia in Toronto, Canada in April 2015.

[3][4] The story of the film is set in rural Punjab, a province in India known to have been the bread basket of the country, but now facing fallout of severe agrarian crisis.

The story of the film was developed during his visits with his partner Amrita Chaudhry to Lehragaga, a small town in Punjab that has witnessed a spate of farmer suicides over the past several years.

The shooting for the film started in November 2014 and it was completed in four months under the banner Spirit of Amrita Foundation, formed after Chaudhary's death in a road accident in 2012.

No professional actors were hired for the project and the film does not follow much of conventional cinematic devices, narrating the story in a very realistic manner.
