Parineeti Chopra opened up that she was not the obvious choice for the upcoming thriller film and felt liberated when she bagged the role of Mira Kapoor, a complex woman struggling with grief and alcoholism. She added that it's rare for an actor to get roles they have not played before because when the writer writes a script, they think of a particular actor to play the part, whom they have seen perform before. Parineeti Chopra also added, 'The habit is to go to that person who you've seen do that part before. But actors are in search of something they haven't done before, something that other actors are known for.'
