Pankaj Tripathi as the headmaster evoked laughter when he took to the blackboard that was part of the stage set-up. Swara Bhaskar in her school uniform along with the young Ria Shukla kept the audience engaged with their quirks and antics.
Speaking about the novel story, director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari said, “This is a simple story that uses the insights I have closely watched in our country.” Swara, who took up the challenge of playing mother to a 15-year-old, said, “I thought it would be a career suicide to play mother of a teenager. But when I read the script, I realised the potential of the role.”
