But not once did we expect it to be received so well by the audience.”
She further added, “A lot of people appreciated the directors for using actors to represent their particular language.

They wanted a Tamilian, who could speak in Hindi, and that’s how I came on board.” Priyamani went ahead to inform that her co-star, Manoj Bajpayee is a fabulous actor and she’s a nobody compared to him.
“He plays any role with so much grip and puts in his life to the characters. His face and eyes express a lot. I am a nobody compared him,” she smiled.

The actress is glad to be a part of the prestigious project and thanks her producer, Boney Kapoor to consider her for the role. “I have to thank Boney sir to consider me for the role. I can safely say that my portion in the film is completed however, the film’s shoot is not yet wrapped. They will resume once the situation gets better. I think, climax and a couple of matches remain,” she shared.
