Speaking about why Ragini chose Law as her debut movie, she says, "It's definitely the script because doing movies is not something I had been planning, it was definitely not in my pipeline. But the script is what got me in especially when the director Raghu Samarth came in and narrated the script."
The actress further adds, "He told me about the background of the character and the complete story that revolved around it, which was a very strong and impactful plot. I didn't see myself doing a romantic film as my first one, so I thought this movie would be a great first choice for my debut."
