Shabana Azmi, when enquired about the film, said "Confirming the news, Shabana said, “I was moved by the script which was recommended to me by Divya. After that, I met Faraz who came across as sincere, honest and deeply committed to the story. The bonus is working with Divya and Swara, so we figured out the dates and I said ‘yes’ to the project. We had the first workshop last week and everything came together organically. I am looking forward to the shoot.” The actress plays Divya’s mother in the film." Shabana’s character is not only going to resonate mothers across the world but will also show that love and acceptance begin right at home, the director went on to call her character the mother we all deserve and Mother India of the 21st century.
