The Irumbu Thirai actress further disclosed that veteran actress Lakshmi is playing an important role. She wrote, “Today I am so grateful.. to the universe to God to the people who have been instrumental in helping me find my direction .. I have taken some time to grow both personally and professionally. There have been many ups and downs. But today I feel the satisfaction of that growth .. as I wrap yet another film #OhBaby I just know in my heart that this one is going to be special. My dear director @nandureddyy for always being my great big and giving me my most most most favourite character yet. (sic)”
