But unfortunately, the two main differences I have noticed between the Indian filmmaking and international filmmaking are that people are very much punctual and are worked upon, and people pay you on time so you don’t have to beg them for money. These are the only two differences. Otherwise every director has its own way or process.”

For this movie, the makers and producers wanted to ensure Radhika has all the details and psyche to play the role of a spy. Before starting to shoot, Radhika had a lot of rehearsals and discussions with the director to get the nuances of the character right.
