Speaking about the genre, Adarsh described it as a "creature feature" and revealed that while the film begins as a romance, the entry of a creature shifts the entire narrative. He further clarified that the actual film has not been shot yet, saying, “We just shot the announcement video, which wasn’t even the teaser of the film. We haven’t shot the film. We are going to begin shooting in June this year. You know how sometimes films release an announcement video just to create buzz or test the waters. It’s not that they are uncertain about making the film—at least, I hope not. This isn’t getting shelved.”

He also reflected on shooting the announcement video, saying, “I feel like when we shot it, we had only a preliminary understanding of the character, because we were working off the sides provided to us. I have read the script, but it’s changed a lot from what it was six months ago. So you end up projecting your own idea of the character because you haven’t yet done the research. This is where good directing and editing save your a**. All the wrong choices I made as an actor that day were edited out.”
