Speaking to the media on her role in the film, debutant Bollywood actress Amruta Khanvilkar said, "My role in the film is about a lady who truly believes in God. Somewhere down the line she starts believing in black magic. She begins to think that just as powerful as God is, so is the evil black magic. But slowly as the film progresses she thinks that practical things like doctors and medicine also exist. So my character turns from a complete believer in God towards an atheist," said Amruta.
