In the interview, she also revealed that why an aged woman wasn’t roped in for the movie because it would have been difficult for her to shoot in cold weather, “I didn’t think of 90 or 60, I just asked her one thing—why don’t you take an older person for this role? She (director Kaashvie Nair) said that a real 90-year-old person wouldn’t be able to shoot for long hours. We used to shoot 15-16 hours in cold weather,”
