The acting process

It was a point where her character IPS Neerja Madhavan is really mad but controlling her breathing pattern. She inhaled, controlled her breath and swallowed, to get the breathing pattern right. It was what was the need for and eventually used in the song. Her character also pays tribute to all the deceased, along with the CM of Bastar, played by Kishor Kadam’s Rajendra Karma.
