Recently, the actress talked about the same in an interview, she said, “I think in 2019, it started with URI, when I read that script, I knew of course, you read the script, you understand that my role in it was on the ground, I was not a part of the operation. So I had to do this film because this role was very good, it was in line with what I was looking for and I had to work with these directors. And it was absolutely professional.

I have actually worked with 2 new directors all my life and I enjoy it a lot because there is a new energy, there is some mystery and by talking for the first time, you usually find out what kind of director are you, with what intensity you are making a film and I was very sure that I have to be a part of this script. Of the best scripts that I have read in my life the clarity of which is in Aditya about this film. This film will be made that way.”
