At the same event, she expressed, "I was doing gritty and real roles like in The Family Man 2. Right from my childhood, I have always loved the Disney kind of genre. If I am happy, I watch Disney films. If I am sad, I watch them. Playing a Princess in a film like Shaakuntalam was special, given that she is a symbol of perfection. It was intimidating initially to play such a role. But I have been taking challenges for the past few years. This is a role I could only dream of as a child. I believe that's a great endearing factor for all girls, women and families. This is not a simple story. There is love, there is betrayal, there is redemption... It was a complex character that was written many centuries ago."

The period drama, written and directed by Gunasekhar, is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 14.
