Sanjana, Sumesh says, was urged by filmmaker Rahul Riji Nair. “When I checked her profile, I thought she was apt for the character. She proved me right with the auditions, where she was behaving rather than relying on dialogues to convey emotions. Such actors only make our job much easier. The same holds true for Meena Ma’am and Vineeth sir, whose chemistry was important because a lot depends on how convincing they appear as a family,” says the director, whereas additionally lauding Hakim for his contribution. “It’s a tricky character, who triggers the story’s conflict, and Hakim got the meter of performance accurately.”
