This marks a new phase in her career, as she takes on an urban role, different from her previous performance. Several videos of Sunny from the film sets went viral on the internet. The videos showcased him cutting a cake with the film’s cast and crew, including Kunal Roy Kapur and Ashish Verma, and grooving to ‘Tauba Tauba’ track.

Medha, who hails from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, made her acting debut in 2019, with the British television series ‘Beecham House’, where she portrayed Roshanara.

She then made her film debut in 2021, with ‘Shaadisthan’, a Hindi teen musical film. She then portrayed the youngest sibling, Eshwari, in the streaming series ‘Dil Bekaraar’.

In 2022, Medha portrayed Minara, a girl who dumps her boyfriend for an older man in ‘Max, Min and Meowzaki’.

Meanwhile her co-star, Sunny, was last seen in the murder mystery ‘Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba’. As Abhimanyu Dinesh Pandit, the actor kept the audiences on the edge of their seats and received immense praise for pulling off the grey character with ease.

Sunny is the younger brother of Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal, and has worked as an assistant director on films like ‘My Friend Pinto’ and ‘Gunday’. He made his acting debut in the comedy-drama ‘Sunshine Music Tours and Travels’, and gained recognition for his supporting part in the sports biopic ‘Gold’.
