Talking about her character Deepa, she revealed that she plays two versions of the same character—past and present. She said, "In the past timeline, I portray a civil service aspirant, and in the present, I am an IPS officer. For the past version, I had to show the vulnerability and innocence of a girl who has left her home and comfort to pursue her dreams. She navigates a new place, a new language, and new relationships."
