Earlier in an interview with PTI, Pednekar had said, "The film is going to take me in horror space. It is the most challenging and special film for me, as it is for the first time, the responsibility will be on my shoulders. It is something I'm most pressured and excited about. Akshay sir is a genius, I respect him."

Pednekar made her debut with Dum Laga Ke Haisha in 2015 opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. Recently, Pednekar opened up on her process of choosing films and said, “My film should entertain, but at the same time it does seek to leave the audience with a thought that will hopefully change their thinking for the better” reported The New Indian Express. 

Pednekar further added, "Every film has a certain set of audience and, for me, a film has to entertain its core audience. If it fails to do so, then it doesn't achieve its purpose.”
