Reacting to the overwhelming response, Kashyap said in a new interview, “It took 7 years to make the film and I am more than happy because the audience can empathize and relate with different characters of the film.”
“I wanted to make something that would entertain, engage, bring happiness and be a value addition,” she added.
Further sharing her experience of working with such acclaimed actors like Dutta and Tanwar, she detailed, “Divya Dutta used to come on the set as if it was her first film and I learnt that kind of spirit and passion from her because she gave it her all and she just submitted to the director which I found so amazing that too after so many years of experience. The relationship with Sakshi was of respect and mutual love. She just ruled the set. As soon as she came in, she would just sink into the character. I would forget that she was Sakshi and she was Jyoti for me.”
