In a recent promotion, Kapoor said, "I was really looking forward to working with Kriti because I really have enjoyed her work. In the last few years, she has really raised the bar as an actor. Some of the work that she has done is the very mature work of an actor—not just a star who is also an actor but of an actor from her heart. From the first film, you could see that Kriti has a lot of potential and that she wants to perform. And then, when I met her, I actually found her to be chilled out and intelligent; she was talking about things in a way that was interesting and exciting. And I was actually curious to understand who she is as a person."
