Gearing up for the movie's last leg, Kher said that the first-time director's sensitivity seeps not only into the material but also on the set. She shared, "There is something fulfilling in knowing that the director, who has lived with the story, feels content with what you've brought to it. Vikram sir leads with honesty, empathy, and complete faith in his actors. His sensitivity shows in the smallest details. He understands actors and that makes all the difference."

Like some of her past offerings, Phadnis's movie challenged the artiste in her. But it did something more, she said. "It gave me space to grow, not just as an actor, but also as a person. Few films do that."
