A source close to the development shared, "Many actresses were considered, but the team unanimously zeroed in on Adah. She has excellent comic timing and a huge youth fan following. She is also very versatile, so she's perfect for the part of Reeta. Reeta is badass, witty, kind, and a lot of fun. After 'Sunflower', 'The Kerala Story', and 'Bastar: The Naxal Story', she has proved that she is one of the best among the young actresses."
