What we experienced while making this film was special,” she said, thanking director Om Raut for the faith he instilled in her.

Speaking about her role in particular, Kriti Sanon shared, “I have poured my heart and soul into Janaki. I had complete faith in the role but while shooting for the movie I started learning more and more about this character. She is very pure, has a kind soul, a loving heart and a strong mind. In my poster as well you will see, there is pain, but there is no fear in it. It was a huge emotion for me. We are mere humans, forgive us if we have faltered.”
