This film was Nithya’s debut in Telugu, but she was so courageous that she turned down a scene because it was out of place in the script. Nandini said, ‘Once the producer wanted me to write a scene where Nithya Menen gets drunk again. She said, ‘I am not going to do that. Do you think this is right?’ I said, ‘No, but I just want to finish this film.’ She was a child and at that time Nitya was only 21 years old and had just come out of college.
