He is portraying the titular role and has introduced us to a new brand of cop with his spellbinding performance. He enacts his character with earnestness and authenticity.

His portrayal of Saab Bahadar stamps the fact that he is one of the most sought-after actors of Punjabi film industry these days."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://in.bookmyshow.com/entertainment/saab-bahadar-review/103738|title=Saab Bahadar: Film Review - A Perfect Murder Mystery|website=in.bookmyshow.com|access-date=2018-10-13}}</ref> The film was critically praised but commercially it was not that good.
 
<blockquote>You can't experiment much. If you make an experimental film in Punjab, then I don't think it will work right now as the market is not that big. If the market grows, then more type of genres like action and suspense can also do well.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/can-t-experiment-much-in-punjabi-films-ammy-virk-118070800273_1.html|title=Can't experiment much in Punjabi films: Ammy Virk|last=IANS|date=2018-07-08|work=Business Standard India|access-date=2018-10-13}}</ref>
