Zeroing in on his three leads was a no-brainer for D’Silva. Having worked with Bajpayee in Aks (2001) and Sakshi Tanwar in 24, he says they were his “first and only choice” for the ZEE5 film. “The only person I hadn’t worked with before was Neena Gupta. I am glad she said yes.”
While Gupta’s Seema Pallav may use devious means to settle old scores with Bajpayee’s cop character, the writer-director strived to keep their motivations honest. “I don’t think anyone is right or wrong; it’s a matter of perspective. Neenaji is doing what a mother in her place would have done; similarly, Manoj is doing what he should be doing. Right and wrong is for the audience to judge. Their moral compass is intact because the movie’s underlying theme is that parents will go to any length for their child.”
