Kareena Kapoor said in an interaction earlier this year, “I think I loved playing that part because this is the first time I am playing a detective, and I am a huge crime drama fan.” While the actress admitted that playing the role was difficult since the character’s grief made her uncomfortable it also gave her a lot of joy to play it. She added, “It’s a career-defining role for me and one of my best characters.” Kareena mentioned that she asked the director to make it a four-part series since she did not want to let go of the character.
