To play a public prosecutor in film was a change for Richa, who described characters she played so far as "atrangi" (quirky).
"Every girl will relate to this character. It is about why you fight so aggressively for something you believe is right or wrong. As a woman, you can resonate because we read about se things in newspapers so often. We all have experiences of harassment. We already have that built up anger."
