Raveena mentioned how she was set to be seen in part one of the film as well but she wasn't sure as the story of the two films and her character in it hadn't been "developed fully". She added how if she did the first part and the character did not turn out well in part 2 then she wouldn't have wanted to do it. The makers in the first part of the film used Tandon's 'body double' and left the decision to her, according to the actress. She also mentioned that once she saw the first one when it was complete, she was extremely happy and thought it was phenomenal and "new age cinema".
