Ayan Mukerji, who is currently working on his mega project, Brahmastra roped in television actress Mouni Roy to play the antagonist in the film. In an interview with Times of India, Mouni revealed what were the factors due to which, Ayan considered her for the negative role in the film.

Talking about it, she told the publication, "I am playing the main villain in the film. I am really looking forward to it. What is more liberating for me is playing different characters that challenge me. I was surprised initially that they wanted me to play the villain."
