Commenting on the development, the film’s director Vishal said, “Nushrratt Bharuchha is one of the most underrated actors of our industry. Films like ‘Chhorii’ and ‘Ajeeb Daastaans’ are testimonies to her talent. The sheer versatility which she possesses is extremely rare, which is one of the many reasons why I had decided to approach her for the supernatural thriller last year.”

Revealing how he was confident about casting the actor for the part from the very start, he said, “I had full faith in her that she would be able to do justice to this role and that is exactly what happened. When I had the idea of continuing the story, I couldn’t imagine doing it with any other actor.”

“For me, Nushrratt had imprinted the character of ‘Sakshi’ and only she could have taken her journey ahead on the big screen. I am super excited to work with the team again to present an even more exciting and thrilling chapter of Sakshi’s life in front of the world”, he concluded.

Nushrratt, had made her debut in the Hindi film industry with satirical film ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ and did a similar role in the sequel ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2’. The actor was then seen in ‘Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety’ with Kartik Aaryan.

However, the actor’s trajectory soon changed with diverse and prominent roles as a village beau in ‘Dream Girl’, as a rural schoo; teacher in ‘Chhalaang’, as a domestic maid in ‘Ajeeb Dastaans’ and finally as an independent pregnant woman in ‘Chhorii’.
