In an interview to The Hindu, Anupama said that the role offers great scope to perform and she ‘whole-heartedly agreed to act’ since she fell in love with story. She said, “I believe in basic human rights; the sexual preference of a person does not, and must not, matter. I believe everyone is born equal and has the right to live the life they want to. This is a story that has to be told. The director has his heart in the right place, and I felt I must be a part of it.”
