Grewal took to Twitter to pen down a note about Sidhu Moosewala's unreleased music and warned that 'legal action' will be taken against individuals who release or leak any of his work. He requested that the content be handed over to his father, after Moosewala's Bhog, an observance service for the actor-politician, which will take place on June 8. He emphasised that 'his father is the only one' who has the right to make any decisions after his tragic demise. His note read:

"We request all the music producers Sidhu has worked with in the past, to refrain from releasing or sharing his finished/unfinished tracks. If his work gets leaked, we will take legal action against the individuals involved. Please hand over all the content to his father after Sidhu's Bhog on June 8th. Also, if someone from his extended family or friends, contacts any of his music producers for his work, please do not share anything. His father is the only one who should get to decide everything."
