This character has a very strong part and she is holding the film in a certain way as much as the male lead. So for that was very attractive because there was lot to do in the film with different kind of scenes and great opportunity to deliver a good performance and make my presence felt.”
Shruti further mentioned, it’s also the fact that Mahesh Bhatt reposed a lot of faith in the script and was creatively involved and things were done under his guidance so that made Shruti feel very confident about this project. Also, the script was first a play which is converted into a film, so she believes it has gone through a series of fine tuning and that’s why she was very sure to choose this project as her Hindi debut.”
Giving insights about her character, she said, “Niyati is a very strong, ethically and morally grounded girl with very clear values. She is projected as somebody inclined towards her family. With her strong value system she’s able to take a very tough decision for love that changes the course in the film.
