"I'm very excited and thankful to the director Jeetu Joseph, producer Sunir Kheterpal and the entire team at Viacom18 Motion Pictures for this opportunity.

Director Jeetu Joseph told IANS that Vedhika was chosen for the role after several auditions and a nation-wide hunt for the perfect cast. "Vedhika's character is of a young college-going girl who has this innocence about her. She fits the role beautifully," Joseph said.
Vedhika Kumar has appeared in films like Muni, Sivakasi and Sangama. But it was through the film Pardesi that the actress won critical acclaim.
