Deepika plays Laxmi Agarwal who is named Malti in the film while Vikrant essays the role of her boyfriend. Today, at the trailer launch event, Deepika was asked how Laxmi reacted after look at her with the prosthetic.
To this, DP said, "She felt like she was looking at herself in the mirror. I felt I was looking at myself. Laxmi had come and she looked at me and felt she was looking at herself. She came on the first day to the set. I was extremely nervous. This was the first character I played which wasn’t fictional or dead. There’s no better validation for me when there’s a person you’re playing who’s in front of you and says that they are happy looking at me."
