She's a woman who has suppressed her passion and distanced herself from the world, but through an unexpected companion, she learns that life still has so much to offer. It's a beautiful journey of rediscovery, and I connected with it on a personal level."

Neena continued, "Working with Viral Shah was an absolute delight, as he has such a clear vision yet allows us the creative space to truly own our characters. The entire cast brought so much warmth to the set, and it felt like a family. I especially loved sharing the screen with my incredible co-stars, each bringing something unique to the story."

Sharad Kelkar will be sharing the screen with his wife, Keerti Kelkar, in the film. Sharing his experience, the actor said,

"Sharing screen space with Keerti was special, but what touched me the most was my bond with my on-screen daughter. It made me reflect on my relationship with my real daughter and brought us even closer. Working with dogs on set was such a joyful experience--it reminded me how effortlessly they bring warmth into our lives."
