Recently, in an interview with Zoom, Kajal opened up about her role in the film and said, “We’ve only filmed Part 1 and, of course, Lanka is lesser in that, and I am Mandodari. So my role is obviously very limited. Regardless of that, it’s been wonderful. It’s been an amazing experience to just be a part of something, a magnum opus which is going to be a world film. World cinema is a fantastic feeling, and I’m just really grateful that I’m a part of something which is so close to our hearts.”
