Earlier, Anushka had reviewed Qala after watching the film. She wrote on Instagram, "A daughter’s heartbreaking yearning for her mother’s love. Qala is a work of art. It’s heartbreaking and exhilarating equally. Exhilarating because of the genius of each department that comes through in telling this detailed story and heartbreaking for portraying emotional abuse by an emotionally unstable parent in a way that had never been done before by a film…”

Qala is a psychological drama, which revolves around a young singer, who is haunted by her past, while she tries to win her mother’s approval. Anushka is the former co-owner of Clean Slate Filmz, which also produced Anvita's directorial debut Bulbbul (2020). The Netflix film also starred Triptii in the lead.
