The Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress also expressed gratitude for working with him, as she felt protected and supported throughout the process, allowing her to explore and embody the role fully.

Pednekar shared, “Mudassar sir’s hold on the language is very strong. Most of my work references came from. Whenever my language went off-track, he would always correct me,” she explained. She added, “I feel very fortunate to have gotten a character like this with him because I was very protected.”

Bhumi also reflected on the uniqueness of playing such a character, “I haven’t done a film like this before, nor have I played a character like this. When I read the script, I found many similarities between me and my character.”
