Swastika seemed to be very happy with the project. While talking exclusively to OTTplay, she said, “It was a brilliant team. This was my first work with Debashish and I found him very professional. Our director Abhijit is also very nice to work with. I would love to work with him again,” the actress said. 

Talking about her character Ankhi, Swastika said, “She is sober. She works as a small-time model and takes care of her husband Johny’s emotional health. She helps him to stay grounded. It is a comedy thriller and my character also gets involved with the mystery in certain ways.
