In a recent candid conversation at IFFI Goa 2024, where the film was screened, Yami reflected on the evolving landscape of Indian cinema. “From the journey when we started the film to achieving this success, it shows that our audience is so intelligent. There’s an audience for every kind of film, and a good story, good script will never fail you,” she said.

It is fantastic to see women getting recognition, not only because we are women, but as artists,” she remarked.
