Kalki, who portrays the nuances of a loving daughter struggling with financial problems in the movie, opened up about the film saying, “Goldfish was special because complex, layered, sensitive and funny scripts like that are rare to come by. Anyway, there are few roles for someone like me in the industry, since the color of my skin limits my roles in Bollywood, and this being about the identity of a half-Indian, half-Britisher was something I knew I was cut out for.” Further adding about her experience of working with Deepti Naval who plays the character of her ailing mother, Kalki added, “It was a pleasure to work with Deepti ji, she is quiet and yet so brilliant and surprising, I was always kept on my toes as she would come up with something on the spot and I’d have to react to it. I loved working with her.”

The movie marks the return of Kalki Koechlin to the theaters after four years and is set to release later this, September 1, 2023. Anurag Kashyap is presenting this stirring drama which is directed by Pushan Kripalani and produced by Amit Saxena.
