In an interview with TOI, she opened up on how she got the movie. She said, “Pannaga had just told me that he wanted me to listen to a script. This story was so impressive that it lingered in my mind. It was then, a couple of days later, that he asked me to act in it. Since he is there and the script was apt, I felt this was the right one for me to get back in front of the screen.”

This movie which is apparently a thriller will mark the return of the actress to movies after 2 years. After her husband’s sudden demise in the year 2020 and the birth of her son Raayan, she took a sabbatical. For the unversed, Chiranjeevi Sarja passed away on June 7, 2020, after suffering a massive heart attack. Meghana welcomed a baby boy, Raayan Raj Sarja, in the month of October last year.
