Tabrez Noorani, while talking about the extensive research the team had put in, quoted, “We went through 2,500 girls and an extensive casting process to find her. We looked everywhere across different cities in India, we looked for Indian girls in LA, parts of Canada and the UK. So, we really went through several auditions before we found Mrunal. First time when we actually saw her, I think it was a mixture of her vulnerability and innocence. At the same time, you could tell that there is a strong girl which we needed and the minute she auditioned we knew that she is Sonia.”

Murnal seems equally excited with the kind of opportunity she has received. Commenting on the same, she added, “As an actor, you want to fit in every role and be able to portray it with the best of your abilities. But little did I imagine that I would get an important role in my first film itself. The character is the heart and soul of the film. I hope all the hard work put by Tabrez and all of us actors in the film is liked by the audiences.”
