“We had a lot of fun while shooting, but it was also a daunting task as we had to shoot all through the night. It was challenging as there’s heavy rainfall and your entire car is rigged. It's very difficult to shoot sometimes when it's raining heavily and you're filming at night. Additionally, sometimes the wiper wouldn’t work. Every time before entering the car, I used to make a 360-degree check to ensure each camera was properly mounted and every piece of equipment was in place. The main stress was to protect the equipment.”adding to it, "It wasn’t challenging just for the actors but also for the crew because the whole night you’re shooting which is both mentally and physically exhausting and changes your body cycle.

When we finally met, there was an instant connection; we both knew the direction we wanted to take. Shooting with him was a truly enjoyable experience."
