In the video, Pranutan reveals, “Salman sir called up my dad and said that there’s this role and she has to audition for it and dad was like ‘yeah great’. So, I remember I heard the story the next day and I was bowled over. I wanted to do the audition there only if I just get a chance to do the audition I will be blessed.”

“Two days later I went and I auditioned. It was a long audition; it was about four to five hours with Nitin sir. This was on 2nd July, my audition, and I was scared, I was praying, I hope it happens and all, and on 20th July my father got a call from Salman sir saying that she is finalized for the role,” the actress added.
Zaheer Iqbal feels that the character of Firdaus is someone anyone would fall in love with her. Director Nitin Kakkar too is quite impressed with his leading lady. He says that she comes from the lineage of veteran actress Nutan, but she doesn’t carry that as baggage and sees it as an inspiration.
