In an interview with Pinkvilla, the actress, who will be seen playing a misunderstood girl forced to fight back said, “Well, the fact that it’s AR Murugadoss’ film, the fact that he is the director who works with top action stars of the country. And it’s a woman-centric film and he has put that kind of faith in me that he wants me to portray such a role. I am the hero of this film so that was the reason and of course the film has a fantastic story. It has great content and that’s why I wanted to be a part of this film.”
