"The biggest challenge was to crack the right note. As a guy, I have a natural [deep] baritone and that makes it difficult to sound convincing as a woman. To transition between voices was challenging, but it wasn't one bit exhausting. I am naturally drawn to different characters, so this was an adventure," the actor added.

In a media interaction during the trailer launch of the film, Ayushmann said: "In our country, there has been a tradition, whenever Ramleela happens, a boy becomes Sita.

"The character that Raaj has written is unbelievable. I don't think I've done any film being this fearless. I've usually played in subtlety but this one is out there and a lot of fun," he concluded.
